Description
An evolution of design to drive progression of the sport.
The Scorch is the boundary-smashing culmination of decades of evolution, combining and refining features from industry-leading designs like the Burn (uncompromisingly sharp rails), 9R (volume distribution and bow rocker), and Ripper (fast and nimble planning hull); the hybrid rocker profile adds to this with the progressive bow rocker being efficient on the move, planning over even the burliest of features, whilst the stern kick-rocker gets the back edge of the boat out of your way on the lip of drops and ensures you skip out over whatever lies in wait below; a fine balance of length and edge carries speed and maintains precise lines, even in boily, unpredictable water; and the generous but carefully tailored volume keeps you on top of the water and gives you the capacity to carry all your essentials without blocking your paddle strokes.
This is the boat for dry-hair days on local creeks, dialling in moves and lines, and packing those lessons up and carrying them through to the wildest missions and expeditions you can dream of.
Features
- Progressive bow rocker with integrated deflectors helps shed water from the deck while maintaining speed through waves.
- Sharp rails running the full length of the hull provide precise carving ability, controlled eddy turns and accurate line handling.
- Hybrid rocker configuration delivers a balanced combination of speed, agility and reliable drop performance.
- Stern kick-rocker design lifts the tail during drops, helping achieve smoother and cleaner landings.
- Tapered stern volume with wedge-style sidewalls enhances edge control and assists with lifting the bow when needed.
- Squared stern edge reduces surface drag, improving paddling speed and drop efficiency.
- Well-balanced volume distribution keeps the kayak riding higher and more stable in turbulent water.
- Extended hull length increases speed and stability for demanding big-river conditions.
- Large grab handles provide convenient carrying points and assist during portaging or rescue situations.
