At a lengh 245cm and it’s planing hull it’s perfectly suited for playful whitewater and spicing up your runs with freestyle moves along the way.
Enough bow rocker will allow you to keep your nose dry while charging through the harder rapids and enough space in the cockpit will enable you to sit comfortably even after long hours on the river. It features 5 handles a solid footrest a full sized cockpit for save and easy exit.

Turning on a dime when loading the stern is a breeze and pirouetting along eddy lines might become your new normal. It’s platform is slightly narrower compared to the Bliss to maintain speed but if you catch the right wave – oh boy! It features 5 handles a solid footrest a full sized cockpit for save and easy exit.
