The Carbon All-Star was created to take the highest performing freestyle kayak of 2010 and take it to a whole new level. Beginner playboaters or World Champions will benefit from the having a boat that does everything easier, bigger, and snappier.
Less weight over the Elite Plastic version by 40%, makes each move go bigger in a hole, or on a wave. The ease of initiating moves is noticeable the first time you try it due to less swing weight. The rigid hull stays true to the design.
The Paddler’s Advantage: Imagine putting a 10 pound weight into your kayak and going playboating. Then take it out. This is what every paddler will feel immediately.
Beginners- loops, blunts, or any move where you need to rotate the boat will go faster and easier making learning new moves much easier.
Intermediates- You’ll impress your friends with the same moves, but bigger more consistent and you’ll learn new ones quickly.
Experts: The only question your friends will have is “where do I get the money for one of those?” Everything will be better that doesn’t have to do with rocks.
The Downside: composite boats are not strong against impact. Hit a rock and you risk breaking it. Hit enough rocks and you WILL break it. Yes, you can fix it, with epoxy and any type of Kevlar, fiberglass, or carbon fiber, but you’ll want to keep it off the rocks. It is also expensive- at $2,800 USD for USA/Canada (check your country’s distributor for pricing in your country) you’ll want to take good care of it.
