As the team at Slipstream searched for a design that would serve well as an outstanding solo canoe as well as a great small tandem, it became clear that the hunt would lead us to the traditional designs of Adirondack legend John Henry Rushton.

Many thanks go to Marc Ornstein -- it’s Marc’s appreciation for classic designs coupled with an understanding of the capability of modern materials that makes the Inspire even more distinctive than the original Rushton.

Ultimately, the Rushton Indian Girl was selected as inspiration for the Inspire 14.5.  Extremely pretty lines with a beautiful shear.
