Perception Torrent

The Torrent is a new addition to the clubs whitewater fleet. It has rapidly become known as “the barge” but is exactly what some people need!
It’s wide hull provides tremendous stability and being a
sit-on-top it avoids that confined feeling that some people have in a kayak. The thigh straps allow for good boat control and it is self draining too! It is good for all sorts of river types (not really made for playing but can be surfed) and even has a storage compartment to hold your lunch!

Technical
Length: 10’1”(307 cm) | Width: 60.5” (77 cm)

Wavesport Siren

The Siren is one of the best boats the club has for the smaller paddler. It is fairly stable for a beginner and has tremendous capabilities for the advanced kayaker. It has low volume and very slicey ends for even great flat water practice. It surfs very well, and flat spins can be easily achieved. Not very good for bigger river due to low volume, but has good hull speed so can be used by better paddlers if they feel comfortable. Overall, a great boat for teenagers and women.

Technical
Length: 7’(213 cm) | Width:25” (63.5 cm)

Dagger RPM MAX

This is simply a large version of the RPM. Has all the same qualities while adding comfort for the larger paddler.
Even with all the latest extreme trends for boats to be shorter and slicier, the RPM still remains the best selling boat ever. It is probably the best and most used beginner boat, while also being an incredible river running boat for big water and higher level paddlers.

Dagger RPM

Even with all the latest extreme trends for boats to be shorter and slicier, the RPM still remains the best selling boat ever. It is probably the best and most used beginner boat, while also being an incredible river running boat for big water and higher level paddlers.
It is very comfortable, even for the larger paddler. Great for surfing and stern pivots.
