Whitewater kayaking is an exciting sport that involves paddling down rivers and rapids – from simple, gently
moving water to demanding, challenging rapids. The sport encompasses a wide variety of disciplines, from
creek boating to river running to play boating, and each offers different ways to appreciate the river. With so
many approaches to choose from, there is a style of whitewater paddling for everyone. Whitewater paddling is
becoming increasingly accessible to a wider population thanks to better equipment and improved designs.
Gear made specifically for kids, and in a wider range of adult sizes, has also made whitewater paddling more
appealing in recent years. Specified boat and gear designs have grown to meet the needs of each style of
whitewater paddling. Creekboats tend to be larger volume with significant rocker, bulbous ends, and a more
rounded hull. Playboats are generally shorter and smaller volume, often with a flat hull, slicey ends and sharp
chines. River running boats generally utilize a blend of creekboat and playboat characteristics, aiming for a
balance between stability and playability.
Boats, paddles, PFDs, and helmets are designed distinctly to cater to the specific demands of paddlers on all types
of whitewater. Countless accessories also exist to make paddling easier, more comfortable, and more feasible in a
variety of weather conditions.

HIGH STABILITY WHITEWATER KAYAKS DESIGNED
SPECIFICALLY FOR RUNNING RIVERS AND STEEP CREEKS.
Pyranha | 9R L
The 9R L is for larger paddlers and those who are pushing the limits of the sport.
Additional volume has been carefully distributed to carry more gear, larger paddlers
or blast through bigger volume features and steeper rivers; the rear handle has
been moved to the stern edge to allow comfortable lowering and easier access for
swimmers and in bow pin situations; the stern rocker has been revised to maintain
lateral speed when travelling through features with the addition of a slight V in the
rear of the hull to improve tracking during forward paddling and maneuverability
during turning stokes.

Pyranha | 9R M Stout Heavy Duty
The 9R is not just the fastest creek boat in the world, it has revolutionised creek boat
design; whilst other kayaks struggle to keep up, Pyranha have just gone one better
by introducing the Stout and Stout Heavy Duty specs for those who prefer more
basic adjustment and are exploring the full extent of the new possibilities the 9R’s
design has opened up. Narrow width and a swede form design increase the dynamic
speed of the boat, whilst the extreme bow rocker and innovative wave deflectors
ensure you retain this speed even through the biggest features. #FastIsFun

For over a decade, the Nomad set the benchmark to which all other creek boats
have aspired. Updated and improved, the new Nomad is faster and larger, to suit the
new generation of whitewater paddlers. Up front, we added rocker to keep the bow
on the surface. In the back, we reshaped the stern to carry more speed away from
drops and holes. As well as the new shape, you’ll find an extra safety attachment
point, more knee room, and Contour Ergo outfitting. The rock solid reliability of the
original Nomad, updated, and now with three sizes to choose from.

WHITEWATER I BOATS I CREEKING
Soul | Booty Call
To quote Corran Addison directly, “I wanted to go back to a simpler time with this
design”. And we have. Everything about this boat has been rethought from the
ground up. The hull of this boat is simple, and fluid. It’s designed to flow with the
water, not fight it. Quick acceleration, with great top end speed. It turns on a dime
both on rail and flat, and resurfaces quickly with forward momentum. You want it to
boof just because you were thinking of boofing, accelerate to a fast cruising speed
in just two or three strokes, and turn with so little effort that at the end of a long day
you’re still full of energy. That’s how you have fun creeking. That’s how you stay safe.

SPADE KAYAKS | Ace of Spade
The Ace of Spades feels just as good in steep water as it does on high-volume rivers.
The boat is forgiving, fast, light footed, and agile. It accelerates with little effort,
retains speed over drops and holes while keeping true to the line. The boat’s shell
is made of high-density thermoplastic that is blow-molded at high pressure. That
makes the Ace of Spades stiffer and firmer than a boat manufactured by rotational
molding. The footrest, thigh braces, seat, hip pads and backrest are all tailored to
the ergonomics of a paddler for an untiring day on the river.

Liquidlogic | Flying Squirrel
We asked what boat design people wanted to see us create and the overwhelming
answer was loud and clear: “Make a Remix with more rocker and lots of deck
volume.” We did it, and the result is a creek boat that’s as comfortable running big
volume as it is in the steeps. We started the design with the extreme race-winning
speed of the Remix Series, added more rocker in the bow to get up and over
obstructions, then we packed a bunch more volume throughout the deck to shed
water in drops and punch through big rapids. That extra volume also lends itself to
carrying the load for multi-day trips.

Soul | Gonzo 300
There was a time when running rivers was about the groove – the soul. Whether it

your way down the river. Boof that drop, splat that rock, pivot turn that eddy line…
spin off a rock, and carve up a wave. Somehow this has gotten lost with the arrival
of high end freestyle, and off-the-charts class 5 river running. The Ultra modern
rocker lines and surfing hull make this boat slice and dice it’s way down rapids and
across the fastest wave faces. Ample bow volume skips over the water, resurfacing
effortlessly below drops and through wave trains, while the slicy tail allows you to
pivot turn effortlessly.

Braaap provide experienced boaters with downriver tactical controls. The Braaap
has enough volume for all but your most challenging runs, yet it is small enough to

Jackson Kayak | Rockstar 2016 (S,M,L)
The World Freestyle Kayak Championships on Garburator Wave in Canada fueled
our desire to make the ultimate wave surfing machine…the new Rock Star! A
narrower, faster, looser, easier to take off hull is the platform that everything is built
on. Easy Edge to edge transfers, combined with massive air capabilities and smooth,
predictable surfing makes it a ridiculously fun boat to paddle on a wave. It has an
updated deck with rock solid knee position. The ends of this boat are slicey and
easy to get under the water, making cartwheels, stalls, and linking moves together
easier than ever before.

Pyranha | Jed M Race Spec
The Jed isn’t like the others; it’s longer than its competitors, allowing a more fluid
distribution of volume and comparatively slicy ends for easier trick initiation. Extra
length makes the Jed faster on a wave and smoother on end in a hole. A unique
‘V-Chine’ in the stern frees up the back end for spins and edge transitions while
surfing and adds to the dynamic speed on a wave. Smooth transition of volume to
the core of the boat produces incredible pop in a hole and smooth lines over all give
an obscenely fast and aggressive ride on any wave.

WHITEWATER I BOATS I FREESTYLE
Soul | Super Sic
Corran Addison pioneered freestyle kayak design for nearly 20 years, effectively
“inventing” the planning-hulled river kayak. His focus became more and more wave
surfing through the mid 2000’s, with emphasis on speed derived moves rather than
“butt bouncing” into them. Of course, if you want to win competitions, then the butt
bouncer is the way to go, but this new design from Corran takes the last 10 years
of his kayak and surfboard designs and fuses them into one really fun boat. Both
more comfortable and more forgiving than some of his more recent freestyle designs,
the Super Sic will also play foamy holes as well as green waves. But the focus is of
course on power wave surfing.

Titan Kayaks | Genesis
The Genesis Series has progression written all over it, whether it’s on a wave or
in a hole, the Genesis is pushing the limits. A unique secondary rail system at
the nose and tail lets you ride your edge to the peak of your bounce giving the
Genesis a huge pop. While when river running these same rails give a sensation of
surfing downstream as the hull picks up and carves through the rapids. Short, loose
and super forgiving, the Genesis allows for looping bigger, popping higher, carving
harder, and releasing easier. Whether you’re a beginner jumping in your first kayak
or a pro searching for that next big trick the Genesis will get you there.

cartwheel, loop or mc-nasty even with the increased volume. We designed whole

Soul | District 11
It’s a class 5 whitewater racing kayak. It’s an ocean rock hopping, wave jamming
playing sea kayak. It’s a recreational kayak for rivers and streams. It’s that one kayak
in the quiver that will do more than any other kayak you own. The bow is influenced
by downriver whitewater racing kayaks: cutting efficiently through the water rather
than plowing through it like most whitewater kayaks. This makes it fast in a straight
line and resurface instantly at the base of drops. The tail in turn takes its cue from
slalom kayaks, that turn on a pivot. This allows us to reduce tail rocker, maintaining
speed, yet still be maneuverable when correct techniques are used. Sprint on the
nose, turn on the tail.

Going kayaking on a hot summer day is a lot like going to the beach in ski boots.
Hard plastic, clamped down around you, in the sweltering heat, just so you can surf
some waves. And in the lineup with you, a surfer or paddleboarder, in nothing more
than board shorts. This is that surfer’s Buzz Kill. This is a park and play toy only,
for glassy waves with easy eddy access, or for wake surfing behind a boat. You’re
not going to be running any whitewater with this, but you are going to shred that
wave like you own it. You’re going to be about as awkward looking as a wobbling
paddleboarder when you’re not on the wave, but when you’re on the wave… hooboy, hang onto your socks!

Soul | Rookie
For children to learn a new sport, instant success is important, as this makes it
fun. The Rookie is targeted towards exactly that. The boat flows through river
features. Once the first river runs are in the bag, it won’t be long before some
playing comes into the equation, and so the hull is much more like a surfing kayak,
with continuous rocker, planing hull and release edges. Overall, we’ve given up
“advanced” playboating moves like cartwheels and loops, in favor of more ease
for river running, ease getting across eddies and only small waves, and eventually,
ease of rolling.

Soul | Sucker Punch
Extreme Racing is now all the rage, and we wanted to address the «main class» of
extreme racing - 9’ and under. This is where the real prestige is. Anyone watching
the Green Race or the Sickline Race can see the obvious disadvantage of the
current stock of boats as they plow helplessly across the pools. Powering through
rapids is pointless - being on line is fast. So the main gains come from drop exit and
the flatwater sprints, whether those are 10m or 100m. The Sucker Punch has to be
paddled with absolute precision - as it tracks and slices through from the nose, and
then turns on the tail with a slalom style power pivot. This is an experts-only boat,
