After the initial runs of wildfire and dragonfly will y'all be switching to side pods after you retool the molds? Would love to see an in water comparison of the 14' solos
Probably not, honestly. Both boats are sensitive to seat height/centre of gravity, so having the wood allows the user to adjust height up/down. With sidepods the paddler would be stuck at a single height. It also costs a lot to tool up moulds for the sidepods, so given the number of boats we're likely to sell its probably not feasible. That could change if sales are very good and we get more requests, though. Just has to be worth the cost.
if you email our factory at parts@swiftcanoe.com they can let you know if we've got some in stock and/or the cost to order more. We typically order them for each individual build, but once the design is on file the print shop can just make more. We can get you sorted out.
Great videos. Iconic company. Idea-always mention the weight. People want to know.
Bill, no one can deny the passion you have for canoes. I love watching you cover your new products…one day I hope to pick one up
OMG those WildFires are BEAUTIFUL! I keep watching these videos just to see one and dream! Can't wait to test one in July!!!
Lovely spring weather
Very nice work! These boats look beautiful!
Customer wanted to stay anonymous because he didn't tell his wife ...😂 lol!
Wise putting the dog's names though. She can't be mad then!
Will there be a pack boat video this year?
We will be doing a 2023 Pack Video when our new Pack 13.8 is in production :)

I love the Dog details. Would you be able to sell me some of the Dog in the Canoe decals?
