When a boat is conceptualized we aim at a certain pitch, roll, and movement tolerance, but the athletes, due to their techniques and their specificities often use the boat in a very different way. The changes applied are meant to exactly reduce the number of athletes and moments where the boat is not on that optimum level.

Small but crucial improvements were made across the range so that the behavior and boat movement matched exactly what we are looking for.

The changes applied are meant to exactly reduce the number of athletes and moments where the boat is not on that optimum level.

The main changes are in the volume distribution, allowing for a feel of “push forward” upon stepping on the front and a quicker “recovery” of the stern after the blade exit.
