Riot Magnum


Riot Magnum

Thigh Brace



The Magnum is a great boat that can suit a lot of medium sized paddlers. the boats stickers seem a bit showy to me so if thats your kinda thing then this could be the boat for you. The magnum has an awesome hull design, the reasonably flat design has good speed , but the main benefit from this is the awesome rails and turning/ edge control. The magnums outfitting id good accept for the thigh braces as there are comfortable but seem to be a bit flimsy. The weight of the boat is awesome but unfortunately i think this could come with some down sides in the overall strength of the boat.

Great controlled boat but its a bit on the weak side.

Liquid Logic - Jefe

The Jefe

Outfitting



This boat is a great quick creeker, a lot of people get in the boat and are intimidated by its size, but as liquid logic have bout out new sizes and designs of the boat, there is a size to suit all. The Jefe is a great forgiving yet responsive hull, the round hull gives it a forgiving edge but the rails on the rear are great to hold an edging turn. This boat has amazing rocker to punch through holes and resurface quickly. The Jefe is a very stable boat with a kewl design. the outfitting is basic and effective although the back rest could be a bit softer. can always put a bliss-stick one in it though.
