Simplepeddler, I was sold on the Nucanoe when I Jude with
http://www.duckdownwaterfowl.com/ contacted me about filming some duck hunts at my lakes, AJs (Named for my 7 year old son Andrew Jacob). Nucanoe is one of their sponsors. Look at their site and you can see what they filmed. When I got out to lake there were four hunters with waders standing up in the Nucanoe and what could be called dancing. At first I thought they were nuts because it was freezing cold. And then I realized how stable it was. Then I went to Pack and Paddle in Lafayette. I spoke with John Willimas. He knows everything about everything about kayaks. I told him I wanted the most stable kayak to use to hunt with a 7 year old that wont flip. I have hunted out of a pirogue all my life. And yes I have flipped several times trying to shoot out of it. John told me without question the Nucanoe is the most stable. So thats the one I bought.
