  • The Northstar Firebird is one of my favorites for a quick trip to the water. It is nimble and quick to respond to intentional and unintentional strokes! The Firebird will make you a better paddler. I find that newer solo paddlers are often attracted to this canoe because of its lightweight and small size. Hopefully this vid helps you see how a paddler w some skill looks in it.
    I have to admit I was working off some spring rust in this video and found moves that I could do with ease in a Phoenix challenged me a bit more in the Firebird. However, they were also more rewarding and responsive.
    This Firebird in the video is a Ruby Red Whitegold version. Weight is 36 lbs. Northstar can offer weights of 28 lbs BlackLite, 26 lbs StarLite, 39 lbs IXP.

    I LOVE the jam during the overview! “Ya know I want it!”

    That 180 was dope. Your gunnel is just kissing the surface of the water. Makes me want to go play!

    Looks like a ton of fun. Neat to see you bust out some of those freestyle skills you’ve been keeping under wraps.

    Great technique! I'm a kayaker, but that looks fun!

    WOW!!!! I REALLY WANT ONE OF THESE SMALLER "SOLO" CANOES!! IMHO: YOU OUGHT TO TRY KNEELING ON A THICK, SOFT, "CLOSED CELL FOAM FLOATATION PAD (POOL LOUNGING FLOATING PAD)!!! IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE ON THE KNEES, AND, PROVIDES ADDED BOYANCY IF NEEDED!!!
    ...WHERE IS THIS RIVER???!!! AWESOME DEMO!!! THANKS!!!

      Thanks for watching. I’m using a custom Northstar Trapezoid Kneeling Pad that is very padded and features a non-slip surface underneath with a security grommet for keeping w the canoe in the event of a flip.
