Shadow 16.5
By sharon-backcountrystore
Ranked #146 - Kayaks
April 8, 2003
This is the Rolls-Royce of boats. Its slick design is ideal for cutting through the toughest of waves without making too many adjustments in your paddling. Whereas a lot of boats will sit on top of the wave, the Shadow goes through them like a speeding bullet. Even in a head wind this boat is pretty stable and quick. A great boat for a good day or multi-day touring.
