"Designed by Don Burklund to comply with the 3x27 professional racing standard, the Super is the result of years of continual design and development of North America's most demanding canoe racing circuits. The round bottom design and resulting narrow waterline makes this canoe noticeably faster than the U.S.C.A. cruisers and the flare inherent in this design leads to surprising stability and seaworthiness. Available in standard fiberglass and lightweight Kevlar. Elvstrom self-bailer standard. Note now the aft gunnels pull in to reduce the stern paddler's reach."
