Secondary Stability = Peace of Mind A paddler puts a Champagne colored Mattawa Tandem through a solo maneuver

The nimble and easy-paddling tandem canoe is the standard for all canoe trips, regardless of the length of the journey. But all tandems, like all paddlers, are not created equal. Experienced Paddlers need a boat that matches their skills, and the aspiring novice wants a canoe that they won't grow out of. It is with these paddlers in mind that Swift Canoe & Kayak Co. developed the The Mattawa, The Kipawa and The Winisk, the largest of the three. Their unique, asymmetrical water-lines and underwater profiles provide unprecedented paddling efficiency and control. Gently-rounded bilges and flared top-sides keep you dry and comfortable in the most severe conditions. Bow paddlers say they finally have a rockered bow that really responds, and the straighter keeled stern keeps the canoe on course, making life a relaxing pleasure for stern paddlers.
