A Solo Canoe With Kayak Seat
The Old Town Next has certainly got tongues wagging in both canoe and kayak circles due to the fact that it is an open canoe that is designed to be used like a kayak. Gone are the days of making that difficult compromise between the easy access of an open canoe or the more comfortable seat of a kayak.
With its classic canoe shape and impeccable Old Town heritage, you know that the Next will be both well designed and also perform very well on the water. However for those who have always had issues with the standard seats you normally get in canoes and lack of comfortable backrests, the Next has an amazing seating position that delivers comfort in spades.
The high back seat is fully adjustable and set just rear of centre to not only deliver maximum comfort but also to trim the boat and provide both ease of paddling and also manoeuvrablility on the water. Adjustable footrests like those you find in a kayak are also present to aid the ideal seated paddling position. The Next has been designed to be used with a double bladed kayak paddle, so for anyone who has had trouble mastering the J-stroke and regularly frustrated trying to keep a canoe straight, this canoe could be the answer to your prayers.
