der neueste Wurf der süafrikanischen Kajak-Schmiede:

FLUID BAZOOKA

Fluid, die süafrikanische Kajakschmiede, schnitzt soeben die letzten Details in ihren neuen Creeker: Der BAZOOKA ist so gut wie fertig, und die ersten Bilder und Computer-Grafiken versprechen wieder ein sehr interessantes Boot.
Fluid hat bereits mit dem Solo einen erfolgreichen Dauerbrenner auf den europäischen Markt gebracht, und auch der Big Bang, ein Expeditions-Creeker auf Basis des Solo, zeugt davon, dass Celliers Kruger und seine Mannschaft ihr Handwerk verstehen.
Hier sind die ersten Bilder und Grafiken, Fluid gibt uns in Kürze weitere Infos. Das sagt Fluid über den Bazooka:

FLUID

Bazooka: The Bazooka is our new creeker series, replacing the trusty Solo series. The Solo served us well, but it is time to move on. The Bazooka is bound to set a new standard in creekboat performance. The 3 sizes of the Bazooka will be launched together.
You like to run the steeps. You do it in the company of friends you can trust. You scout the lines, set up safety. But when you get in your boat, leave the eddy to aim for the horizon line, you’re really going ... Oh wait, that was the blurb for the Solo! Truth is, the goals of creekboat design haven’t changed. But our knowledge of kayak design and the interaction with turbulent water in the most extreme conditions has changed. Harder rapids than ever before are being run by the elite athletes of the whitewater world. Feedback on designs is more comprehensive and more precise than ever before. Our understanding of the complex fluid dynamics involved has improved dramatically. Combine all these facts together and the perfect conditions are set to create the safest, most forgiving, most capable creekboat ever designed.
The Bazooka is the result. It is fast, yet manoeuvrable. It is stable, yet responsive. It is precise, yet forgiving. It doesnt stop for anything unless you want it to, and it doesnt lead you where you dont want to be. It boofs like a charm and tracks well. It handles rocks and big volume and steep drops equally well.
The Bazooka is intuitive. Its a nobrainer. Concentrate on your paddling and the Bazooka will do the rest! No need to think how the boat will react if you lean this or edge that, it just does exactly what you expect it to do, when you expect it.
