Soul Super Skipper
The design goal for the Super Skipper was ambitions. We took a long hard look at what all the new creek boats are doing, what makes them good, and more importantly, what their shortcomings were, and then set out to fix all of it. Yes, all of it.
Most of the new designs skip over features well, but many "wheelie" out, or loose forward speed as they clear. We wanted our boat to ricochet across the water like a skipping stone, maintaining speed and direction. And hoo boy, did we succeed!
Some drops you don't want to skip across, especially the big ones. When it came to these, the idea was for the boat to plunge on an even keel, and then progressively arc to the surface, still moving downstream away from the base.
Precision paddling while paddling through multi-stage, chaotic flow was an absolute must; having a boat that does the work for you, so you can stay on top of your game.
But wait. There's more! As good as all these new boats are at staying out of trouble, they all have one fatal flaw. When you do get stuck in a hole, they are next to impossible to get out of. Through a combination of tip volume, rocker shape, and rails, we've created a design that allows you more control in holes, so you can manoeuvre easier, and tap into the currents and flow coming out. There are no magic wands, but there is no doubt that what we have created if a vast improvement in this field.
If you're looking for the ultimate creek boat, that will do exactly what you want, when you want it, well, you just found it.
