The KOR is Jim Snyder's latest design and reflects the current focus in the sport on destination mystery moves. It has several new features which key on the boat's ability to spin in a plane underwater. The seam line has no rocker to minimize the thickness footprint of the boat underwater so it condenses the cross-section that must be driven through the spin. In other words the ends of the boat are more trimmed into the line of effort. The boat is also longer than most and has more "tool area"- the thin sections of the ends which help pry you into laminations of current. It also features a new hull with indents which help keep the boat's volume small and keep the "wing" aspects of the boat neutral- to enhance its planar referencing. The KOR also has the newest version of the Jimirim- smaller now to make for easier entrance and exit of the boat and keep sizing problems to a minimum. The design is actually bigger inside and smaller outside than previous designs. And it has a bigger knee-friendly area to help with trim/seat position issues. The boat trims very low and is almost totally underwater in expert chops. It likes to run with the bow slightly submerged so it is NOT recommended for cruising rivers. Underwater it has very smooth handling and maintains a nice oblique speed which can be harvested into performance. It is also very stable so you can thrust the boat into new areas and then regain your position "over the wing". It has a lot of forgiveness and is geared towards dropping to a certain depth (determined by the rider ~hopefully) and then rising slowly. So you can get more shallow mysteries with bigger downtime if you want. It is a bit slow for cartwheels and loops so it is not as optimized as the Whirld for World Championship-type competitions- where flatwater routines are scored.
