Comments
NuCanoe, emailed Joe Butler and me and wanted to stop by Black Creek Outfitters and let us "test paddle" the prototype of the Pursuit on the lake behind the shop. It was a windy day on the lake and that gave us a good chance to test and evaluate it, and to provide feedback.
It was much quicker than I thought it would be and got up to speed easily. It also tracked fairly straight. Joe stood and paddled it SUP style.
It had a newly designed "Casting Bar" for standing and fishing that that folds down very easily....nice improvement!!
He also told us that the Rigid 360 Base will be available in a lower height...(4-6" lower) which will address issues about windy conditions or stability situations for larger people, and it will also be make with the same "fiber-reinforc ed thermoplastic" that the current one uses for stiffness and lighter weight than the Multi-Seat Base.
