An extremely capable "passage-maker" with good turn of speed, great sea-worthiness and surprising stability for such a slender craft. Though somewhat stiffer tracking and a little less maneuverable than its shorter siblings, the 18 is still very nimble. Comfortable cockpit fit and adjustable outfitting afford a superb interface between paddler and boat.

Awarded "best" gear honors by both National Geographic Adventure and Men's Journal.
