The Pintail is our best selling design and for good reason; its versatility and “fun factor” make this boat deal out one hell of a bang-for-the-buck.
To say that the Pintail is based on Corrans successful Booster design is a very limited appreciation of this incredible kayak. We’ve had people equate the Pintail to “a modern RPM” and “a river running X”. But really, the Pintail is so much more than this.
The Pintail hits that perfect balance between river runner and fun boat. It’s been taken on upper class 5 river runs, making the hardest moves with the best of them, yet get to a fun wave, and you’re busting out Helix’s and Airblunts.
Schools have been using the Pintail to teach basic skills, from the eskimo roll to class 3 river runs, while our pro paddlers are taking this same design to Chile, Russia, India and the Grand Canyon, and every time, we get the same reaction: “I had so much fun!”.
The swept rocker, and even curve outline, combined with rounded rails, a subtle double concave on the hull, rounded deck contour and roomy interior are the key elements that makes this such an easy-to-paddle design, yet so versatile and fun all at once.
