With every new boat we design, we try to find the missing link in our fleet. We're very excited about the role the Slick will play, given that it's already the fifth Half Slice we've built. For anyone wondering what the differences are, here are some facts and figures:
Despite its 275 cm length, the Slick is probably our most maneuverable boat yet. At 69 cm wide, it's only slightly narrower than the Full House, but we've kept the sides a little lower to give it an even more stable platform. Combined with its high bow rocker and optimized rocker brake, it's extremely fun and tackles all obstacles with ease.
Although it looks similar to the Joker, the two boats couldn't be more different. The Joker is fast and moves straight like no other boat. The Slick, on the other hand, with its wide bow, floats high and turns left and right like a champion. The Slick is definitely one of the most fun ways to paddle in both technical and rough waters.
The sleek rear end is inspired by the Barracuda, but with a volume of around 300 litres, the Slick is clearly ideal for even the roughest rapids.
The basic idea was to combine elements of the Barracuda and the Full House and create the perfect kayak from both.
Side note: We're often asked what the ideal body weight is for our various models. With the Slick, the answer is once again: "Don't look at the numbers, try it yourself." We had paddlers weighing between 65 and 120 kg test the prototype. Everyone had a different experience; everyone had a blast. It's best to give the Slick a try! You might be surprised.
