For me, the Northstar is wonderful. I like sometimes speeding along, sometimes gracefully enjoying the quiet with the dog, switching between sitting and kneeling. I have read Souris River canoes fare better in rough water and are not as tippy. Maybe I will try one someday, but for the moment I am very pleased.

About Me
Only previous canoe experience was an old aluminuim Grumman. Canoe mostly solo w/dog, sometimes tandem. Mostly canoeing on 1000 acre lake. Water can get rough at times, but mostly calm near shore.
Pros / The Good
Fast, light, sleek. An absolute pleasure to glide thru flat water. Added a third seat, so I solo in the middle seat with the dog in front. With a 260cm double paddle it is screaming fast canoe, but I get the most pleasure from my traditional paddle.
Cons / The Bad
Compared to the Grumman it is much tippier. But as I become more experienced this is less of a factor. In rougher water it is not as efficient, but my double paddle will take me anywhere I want to go.
