Default Whitewater canoe for tripping?

I don't think the Rival would be too good for tripping, Mike. I think
you want at least 13 feet and the Rival is a 12 footer.


That's fair - I didn't realize it was so short - I though it was more like 14
foot, but then that's by eye seeing it next to WW kayaks and stuff. It looked
huge compared to the Ocoee I once tried out - that was so squirrelly compared to
the double WW canoes I was used to at the time I never worked up the nerve to
leave the big eddy I was in.
