Northstar ADK Lt 10'6" Blacklite Canoe
BlackLite carbon-aramid hull that floats on top of the water
The ADK Lt's proprietary BlackLite layup pairs a carbon-fiber outer with Aramid reinforcements over a full wet vacuum-bagged foam core. The result is an exceptionally stiff, durable solo hull that weighs just 18 lbs.
- BlackLite: carbon outer with Aramid reinforcements
- Full wet vacuum bag and foam core for stiffness-to-weight balance
- 18 lb BlackLite weight (17 lb StarLite, 25 lb WhiteGold)
Tuned for solo paddlers and day-trip loads
At 10'6" with a 24" waterline, the ADK Lt carries an optimal load of 75–225 lbs, making it an ideal solo touring hull for lighter paddlers and short trips. Its shallow-arch lines and modest rocker keep it efficient on flat water.
- Optimal load range 75–225 lbs
- Displacement: 70 lbs at 2", 155 lbs at 3", 210 lbs at 4"
- Rocker 1.5" bow / 0.75" stern for tracking with maneuverability
Comfortable seating and adjustable footwork
A contoured foam seat with a supportive back band keeps you dialed in for hours, while adjustable foot pedals let you brace and power each stroke. Choose from four trim systems to match weight and aesthetics.
- Contoured foam seat with supportive back band
- Adjustable foot pedals
- Aluminum, ash wood, or E6 carbon trim options
Carry it to the water without a second thought
So light your roof rack probably outweighs it. Whether you're strolling a few blocks or a mile to the water, the ADK Lt rides easily on your shoulder, making frequent portages effortless on wilderness trips.
- Just 18 lbs in BlackLite layup
- Smaller sibling to the standard ADK
- Tie-down loops on wood and carbon trims

Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.

About this canoe
📞 Call 1-800-442-4837 for shipping information and cost.
The Northstar ADK Lt 10'6" BlackLite is so light it practically floats on top of the water — your roof rack probably outweighs it. No rack needed: you won't notice it on your shoulder whether you're strolling a few blocks or a mile to the water. The ADK Lt is the smaller sibling to the ADK, delivering the same ultralight performance in a more compact, nimble package.
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 an ultralight canoe.
