If you can only own one solo canoe, and mostly paddle rivers and streams, consider the Phoenix (and its smaller sister the Firebird). These boats are an amazing balance between maneuverability and tracking, and have plenty of capacity.

The myth of the Firebird, like the Phoenix, is one of reincarnation and rising from the ashes, much like Northstar did from a previous entity. The Firebird offers the versatility of the Phoenix in a smaller package. Those who want to play on flatwater or in whitewater will be drawn to the Firebird
