The Ripper takes the #FastIsFun ethos introduced by the 9R, and combines it with a playful stern for an extra dose of adrenaline.
Standout features of the design are generous bow rocker for a dry ride, a highly surfable, supremely manoeuvrable planing hull, maximum waterline for exceptional downriver speed and easy attainments, plus the security of a full plate footrest and a complete array of security points and handles.
With enough volume to take on all your favourite runs, in the Ripper you'll be stern squirting out of eddies, dip turning around rocks, and soul surfing every wave... after all, kayaking is meant to be fun!
Low Volume Stern
Low profile for unhindered back deck rolls and kickflips, and carefully tailored for downriver vertical moves.
Full Volume Bow
Punches through larger features, whilst also offering ample foot room and plenty of volume for huge pop outs.
Planing Hull
With Maximum Waterline Fast, manoeuvrable, and perfectly suited to surfing.
Bow Control Edges
For carving performance on waves and downriver manoeuvrability, softening towards the stern for forgiveness and to keep the hull loose for flat spins.
Security Handles & Points
Another essential for running rivers above grade 3, offering unrestricted rescue and boat handling versatility, both on and off
