This innovative creek and river runner is made for extreme racers chasing short-boat glory on the Green, Oetz or Ottawa. The 9R is precise, capable and fast fast FAST! The highly rockered bow generates dynamic lift, preventing speed-killing submarining. A flat hull profile channels water under the boat to help you get up to hull speed fast. The asymmetric Swede form, narrow beam and continuous rocker help you stay there. The 9R Large has slightly softened edges, a modified stern and extra clip-in points, including a stern grab handle that's been moved all the way back for easier swimmer rescue. These features plus loads of extra volume make it a fun and responsive creeker for paddlers over 90kg, and a super-capable expedition boat for paddlers in the 75-85kg range.
