Hoh yess yess yess yess yesssssssssss! Can’t wait for some laps later this month with you dawg!

I had the same issue at Fist 2 years ago. Started ferry too high and got clipped by the undercut. I also swam out of the hole main line 3rd drop. Very nice box move. I’m not very consistent on that one. What did you think of the boat?

Loved the extra triple drop footage 🎉

nice...:)

Great footage. Really smooth with some really great lines. Did you go “oh man I don’t need a big deck any more” when you first got in. I did :D

Great vid, I am liking the way both yaks handle

For steep creeking needs more peak in the bow and stern to avoid squirts.

Nice footage of Stevens Down; so is the Indra.

Thanks for the review. I am in the same weight range as you, so I enjoy hearing your experience in boats. Next week I will be launching on a 21 day Grand Canyon trip. I will pick up my Clutch the day before we launch! Super excited to have a new boat for the trip.( Love New Boat Day) It should be a fun ride down in the Big Ditch.

I paddled the medium a month back and although I loved the handling, i just felt swamped by it. I sat in the small this morning and walked out with one! Bit of a gamble as I hadn’t paddled it, but it’s so much better. The strangest thing is I’m 5’10 and 187lbs. 😅

Nice!!!

Did it paddle small or big? I know from past videos we're of a similar height and weight, which would put me kind of nearing the top of the small. I tried the medium Reactr the other week and absolutely hated the damn thing. There was probably only 1-inch of boat sat in the water at my weight, and the new outfitting somehow cut off my leg circulation (a friend of mine who has just bought a Reactr has the same issue!) Thinking of demoing the small just to be sure though.

2 questions is the cameraman in a dagger medieval, cus I have one that I never use and I wanna know if it’s good. I always just use my Jackson Allstar playboat. Second, what boat is that guy paddling?

Beauty stretch of water! Great paddling, Matt - the ReactR looks so at home in that type of run.

Man at this point I absolutely hate overtime. Definitely be using all my vacation next year to kayak if I have too. Great video, really want to try the reactr.

This is a bit OT, but did you ever actually paddle the small Verus creekboat?

double clutching, gear grind, doing donuts goodness😅 drive it like you stole it.

Nice surfs you’re tearing those up out there! Good first thoughts video definitely up there one the best boats out.

Is pillow sketchy at this level, why the portage?

Only thing I wanted to see was how to do the straps and you didn’t do them 😢

Found this review very insightful. Considering downsizing from rewind m to 232 firecracker (I’m 150) so I can play the south fork American and other 2-3ish stuff with my kids now that they’re paddling. Full playboat or full slice seems a bit aggressive while also being responsible for them in case of swins etc, so this really appeals.

Thank you for posting this. I live in Denver now, but grew up in Roanoke. This is a bucket list run for me. Hopefully I can get on it sometime!

Happy birthday

Once you elevate the seat, the hip pads will be in a useless spot. Classic P.

im 170lbs and the medium is HUGE, hmmm, but this?

Nice first look and from this I’m curious how the small paddles now. Will be nice if can get a side by side of Medium and Small..

Looks like it will pair well with a firecracker.

I know im a little late to the party here, but you asked for thoughts, and im here bored at work, so... I was fortunate enough to demo an 85 last week. Its a weird boat, if you spend too much time trying to analyze how it paddles you can convince yourself you dont like it, but if you turn that off and just go paddle everything clicks. I found that it was far more playful than a large ripper 2, and while the outfitting is minimal, I think tossing in some thigh hookers would totally transform how it fits. The hull was super loose, and always "doing something", but I really appreciated how the catch point of the sidewalls seemed to be in front of my hips instead of behind like the ripper 2 feels, made reacting to a strange change in current or 360s not only a breeze but fun as hell once I got use to it (which took about 30 minutes at staging eddy of play to feel out). It stern load boofs super stable compared to most boats ive paddled, and im assuming it has to do with the concave deck surface centering the pressure vs moving it towards the outsides. The weird 90 degree edges seem to help it track a little more like a ripper 2 vs a firecracker, but without a hard rail they do not catch on rocks which is super nice. It cant hold a candle to the r2l in speed, but its certainly faster than a firecracker 242 which is painfully slow. Its the first boat ive been in where I felt confident enough to not only go toss myself in the middle of flipper, but even try to do some 360s (unsuccessfully, but it was fun to watch) Ill be grabbing one in the next couple of weeks, but my main concern is the durability of the plastic as ive seen a disproportional about of cracked lettmann boats in the wild. Time will tell in that regards. Any idea if my TK bolts from my pyranha boats will cross over to this? I may not paddle like a pro, but I try to look like one... ;)

Been paddling the Ninja 2 the last 2 weeks and it's quickly taking over as my favorite boat.

Great vest, and great flotation. The colors faded on mine pretty quick, so I started hitting it with 303.

I'm currently demoing the Ninja 2 - I love how it paddles.

I'm 220 in the M/L, and I put my seat back a half inch - made it track and roll better instantly. Thanks for the tip, Matt!

how would a person 175lbs go in this??

Amazing footage! Thank you for sharing

Thanks for this one Matt. it's on my list, if it ever hits on a weekend. Jobs stink sometimes. 🙂

Would love to see full review of the 76. Also interested in your thoughts on RMX 76 vs small Code? 140-150lb paddler.

Narrow rivers for the WIN!

Holy shit is that CJ kayaking again? That’s twice in a month!

The Tye is a fun run. I've only been able to paddle it a few times. I wish it ran more often.

Stellar Video!!!!!!

Awesome edit, Matt!!! That rock slide Wade did at 1:50 was bloody impressive in a boat with such aggressive edges.

How much do you weigh? Is the S/M good for a160 lb paddler.

Anyone seen if these have gone on sale and if so how low it has gone and where? Thanks

Beautiful run, Matt!

How do they compair to the aqua bound major paddles?

Looks like my kind of party.

you make that boat suck.

What’s your opinion on the flow vs the code for a beginner? Was leaning towards the latter but now not so sure 🤔

That looks like one hell of a fun workout! On point too. Itd be really cool to have a quick debrief at the end of your paddles too. To talk about events occurred in the paddle. Its awesome to watch you and Wade rip it up pro style.

congrats..you think i will be good to go at 6'2'' 200 lbs on the ocoee, cheoa, upper yough, chattogga, s. sauty, tellico etc in the ninja?...class III-IV in the southeast thanks brad
