NEW: Thunder 76 - Creeker and River Runner

What if we told you all that current is on your side from now on? That’s true: you are not going down river to fight anything but to wisely use energy that’s already there, at your disposal. The thing here is to know when and how much you have to take from it, and we believe your equipment should be of some support for that. Take our Thunder for example: a fast, flat hull with just the right amount of edge combined with enough deck volume to keep you floating high so you can effortlessly carve into and out of eddies or cruise across currents, surfing curlers. All of this so you can get right where you planned to be once you get in the midst of the action. The boundary between control and opportunism is paper thin in the world of nature powered sports but we believe the purpose of a good river runner should be to push that thought as far out of your way as possible.

With considerable more volume than the 65 the Thunder 76 offers the heavier paddler more floatation by still maintaining its playfulness. Or if you need a short creeker that loves "skipping" over stopper holes, boofs with ease and resurfaces controlled out of drops (the Thunder 76 has about 15 litres of volume more that the Magnum 72!) the big Thunder will be the one for you.

Yeah, from the top it seems you're looking at a nice creek boat... And from underneath, it looks like this thing wants to play... You got it: the Thunder 65 is all about versatility and fun! With a pointy bow to punch through anything, and a sleek deck, low enough to make rolling as easy as breathing and just the right amount of length and edge under to go where you want.
