New Stuff 25/11/05

The Project is now completed and in the shops (or at least Chapter 2: the middle size is done). The latest Wavesport playboat should go well in the UK as it is rumoured to have been designed for the (shallow) USA playparks. 

Plently of flat hull will maximise speed for its length, it will bounce and loop big due to having loads of volume and is mega comfortable with excellent fitting out! A winner at £799.

No dimentional data online yet from the manufacturers, but keep glued to www.wavesport.com for the answers.

Two boats from Pyranha complete the current line up.

The 4Twenty comes in 2 sizes and is the aggressive park and play design. Aggressive rails and rocker break will ensure this boat can go as big as you can! The syncro-6 fittings look the business and sitting inside feels really comfortable. Dimensional data here.

The Stretch will come in two sizes also, and sits in the seat the left empty by the departure of the I4. This smooth river/ play boat looks to be one of the best all-rounder whitewater boats we have seen to date, and on the water looks and feels a little more responsive than the I4. All the data here. 

The Necky Manitou 2 is a new touring/ family double that has really impressed us. The soft V-shape to the hull means it should track pretty well and run in a straight line while offering enough stability for family use. The larger rear cockpit holds a Kids seat, orientated to face the child towards the rear paddler. The Extrasport seats fitted, are highly adjustable and very comfortable. A rear hatch completes the picture of this well though out boat. Come to the shop for a demo! Price is £699.
