Her weight and balance will be appreciated along portage trails. Stealthy efficiency make the Taiga WT an excellent choice for bird watching and fishing as well. John, wife Freida, daughter Freya and friends spirited The Taiga and three kayaks off recently for a month paddle on Canada's immense Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories. She took it all, a total of about 700 pounds including paddlers. John was truly amazed at the ease with which the Taiga held pace with our Osprey Double and Arctic Tern kayaks.
Construction is a snap.
Take a look. The pre-cut panels quickly wire up around five temporary frames. A rugged sheathing of fiberglass cloth both inside and out protect her mahogany wood core. Details include beautiful ash gunwales, thwarts and seats. Comfortable, classy wicker seats cushion the tail for hours of comfortable paddling.
