The added volume behind the cockpit allows the Thunder to resurface well after a drop eliminating an unexpected gnarly squirting session. Smooth rocker at the bow along with the hull shape means that you can hold your ferry line above a feature with confidence before lining up to punch through waves and holes or boof big drops.

The deck design, volume distribution and cockpit shape makes rolling easier enabling you to push your paddling knowing that the boat won’t let you down when you’re counting on it.

The High stability and comfortable but versatile outfitting the Thunder can accommodate a wide range of paddles from size to skill level and river running ability.  Featuring an adjustable footplate, adjustable thigh braces and adjustable seat position along with back rest provides you with a well built, fully adjustable and ridged cockpit which makes you feel both secure within the boat but also comfortable and safe.
