We did it! Our Machete’s incredible features blew our mind, which inspired us to design a new creek boat. We “recycled” its flat hull and sharp edges. We added even more rocker and plenty more volume in the rear, which makes the THP a safe kayak in big water and after big drops. Skipping and Boofing made dry. Speaking of Boofing: Getting a kayak with edges as sharp as a machete to boof effortlessly wasn’t so easy! But while it can cut water like a bush knife cuts liana, its central volume package in the rear can shoot you up the sky – if you want it to. Being in control of this creek boat is a piece of cake. Its sensitive characteristics allow easy corrections without slowing down and you can turn it on the spot, almost like a half slice. You wouldn’t want to miss this: “The Horny Potato” – worth a shocking name!
But what’s behind the name, one might wonder? Well our prototype was, let’s face it, not the most aesthetically pleasing, which is why it was soon to be named potato. And just like we did to the prototype we added a little bit of spice to the name.
