I took the NF Shadow for a test paddle by myself this afternoon out of Smuggler’s cove. I had it loaded for day paddling as a comparison and wanted to see how the boat performed in waves. It was fast, a little bit twitchy compared to my Gulfstream, but still paddled well in some decent waves in Baynes channel. I had no problem rolling it with my Greenland paddle, but had some trouble using my AT carbon paddle. I probably need to refine my technique! All in all, I am liking the Shadow and will try to paddle it tomorrow to Sidney Island.
