This means lighter weight, less bulk, and fewer parts to keep track of which makes packing in a breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOn the water, the Rendezvous seats two paddlers like a traditional canoe which is incredibly comfortable for long days on flatwater lakes and rivers. The rear paddler sits on the stern and the front paddler sits on the thwart. The thwart also stiffens up the hull and makes it possible for either paddler to stand for short periods for casting and scouting. This makes it the best fishing model in our lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend the Aquabound Shred-Apart 240cm paddle with the Rendezvous. Use it in canoe configuration when you have two paddlers and want to make time. Use it in kayak paddle configuration so the rear paddler can operate the boat and the front passenger can fish, watch wildlife, or prepare a mid-river lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"module accordion\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-container\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell small-12\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-row active\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"content default\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/905290851?title=0\u0026amp;byline=0\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" border=\"1\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eFishing\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe perfect two-person fishing packraft, the Rendezvous lets you operate like a mini drift boat.
