A solo canoe is good for the soul — and the Northstar Northwind Solo 15'6" will lift your spirits every trip on the water. Renowned for its versatility, the NW Solo excels on lakes and moderate rapids alike. A high-volume design combined with a low sheer line makes it a joy to paddle in varied conditions, and as Northstar's most friendly solo, canine companions are frequent crewmates.

Built in Northstar's BlackLite layup — a proprietary carbon outer with Aramid reinforcements, combining the stiffness of carbon fiber with the excellent tensile strength of Aramid. The full wet vacuum bag process and foam core artfully balance strength and weight. Exterior resin coated for maximum weight savings. For those who want significantly greater durability than StarLite while still valuing a lightweight canoe.
