Designed around a 28” or less inseam, the Fish is a flatwater expert’s dream. The short length and super low volume allow it to trade ends with lightning speed, and the vertical sidewall in the cockpit area make it stable during the critical juncture between bow and stern ends. This same quality lends itself to effortless clean and superclean cartwheels. Though the flat bottom and hard chines make it a dynamic surfing and spinning boat, the design retains just enough of a curve in the hull to allow for graceful past-vertical moves like screws and washouts. The Fish is an excellent competition boat for smaller paddlers, having taken the Silver and Bronze medals (Men’s and Women’s squirt classes, respectively) at the World Freestyle Championships in 2001, and Gold at the PreWorlds in 2002 (Women’s Squirt).

The Hellbender is a hard-chined squirt boat designed for paddlers with a 28-32” inseam. At 8’ in length, the boat is a quick and nimble river-runner that can carve up waves and shred holes with abandon. The signature hard chines and fairly flat hull make it responsive and fast in heavy whitewater, while low volume allows quick mushes on the fly into seams and boils. This well-rounded design can make the entire river an amusement park; holes, waves, eddylines, boils, seams and rock pillows, there’s no river feature that a Hellbender can’t turn into a playspot. The boat is not bad for mysteries…it will sink willingly, but the hard chines require you to stay on top of the boat at all times to keep it level and spinning. This is an excellent competition design as well, having taken the Silver and Bronze medals at the 2002 PreWorld Freestyle Championships (Men’s Squirt and Women’s Squirt, respectively) and Silver at the 2002 US National Championships (Men’s Squirt).

A Hellbender for bigger boys and girls! This long-inseam version of the popular hard-chined design series is built around a paddler with a 32-37” inseam. It is a fast, responsive boat that possesses the same excellent surfing and hole playing characteristics of it’s shorter siblings (the Hellbender and Fish) while delivering greater mystery-move ability due to it’s added length. At 8’5” it will catch waves that even most surface playboats can’t get onto, and the hard chines that are a characteristic of this design series let it carve like a demon and flatspin well. As an all-river play machine, this boat has no equal in this inseam range – no other squirt boat offers as much all-round fun for the longer-legged paddler.
