Murky Water is excited to announce that we are now producing the Sin and Drain, the ground-breaking planing-hull designs from Aaron & Bryon Phillips! These hybrid-style boats are equalled by few kayaks in either the surface or squirt world in their ability to shred waves and holes to bits, rip in a hole or on the flats, and even get downtime on mystery seams! Although not downtime-oriented squirt machines in the purest sense of the term, they are super-fun all-river play boats that both have strong squirt competition records, and are among the most capable three-dimensional play boats you’ll find anywhere! The addition of these two boats to our line allows Murky Water to offer the broadest, most well-rounded selection of squirt boats on the market today. Check them out!
DRAIN
 The Drain is the evolution of the Sin, adding hugely increased comfort in the knee and foot areas while actually decreasing overall volume, hence increasing mystery ability! This boat has placed top 3 in squirt at almost every world championships since 2001, and is one of the loosest and hardest-carving wave boats on the water in either the surface or squirt genres. Like the Sin, it features a very wide, flat planing hull, concave secondary chines, and flat sidewalls. Knee position is elevated, similar to a playboat, while a deep trough has been sculpted out between the legs in order to bring the volume down. A knot of volume just behind the cockpit balances overall volume bow-to-stern in order to retain the excellent cartwheel abilities of its older brother. Guided by an expert hand the Drain will not only mystery at pourovers and ledges but will go down at convergences and eddy-generated mystery seams as well! This is a well-balanced play package that offers the ultimate blend of performance and comfort!

SIN
The Sin is a surfing and cartwheeling maniac! With a wide, flat hull, flat sidewalls and minimal deck volume, cleans and supercleans happen with the mere thought of verticality while the super-slick planning hull, with its distinctive bow and stern concavities and signature X-inspired concave secondary chines, allows this boat to skip and spin on waves like no other! Clean and superclean spins, blunts, backstabs, the list goes on! The Sin has captured top honours at squirt competitions worldwide since its introduction, particularly those competitions with a wave or hole element to them. Mystery moves are admittedly not its forte, but it will mush into most seams and, in the hands of a skilled rider, respectable downtime is within the realm of possibility at powerful ledge or pourover-style mystery spots. All in all, a super-fun downriver squirt machine! Cockpit will accept an industry-standard sprayskirt.
