OFFERING THE STABILITY OF A CREEKBOAT WITHOUT LOSING THE ABILITY TO STOP AND PLAY A BIT ALONG THE WAY. THESE MAKE GREAT BEGINNER BOATS TOO.

SOUL WATERMAN - DANCER 3 Almost 40 years after the Dancer was born, Bill Masters and Corran Addison have teamed up to create the latest iteration of this industry-changing boat. Suited for that paddler that’s river running more than creeking and doesn’t want a full-blown creekboat. Easier to paddle and roll than other boats, faster, and better tracking, but still with modern comfort and ergonomics. While you can certainly take the Dancer 3 creeking, its home is as an enjoyable river runner. Length: 300 cm/9’10 | Width: 65 cm/25.5’’ | Weight: 16.5 kg/34 lb | Volume: 300 L/79 G | Max. Cap.: 105 kg/231 lb

VERUS KAYAKS - GLADIATOR The Gladiator was designed to create a displacement hull with a smooth rocker that transitioned from bow to stern. The Gladiator is 76 gallons, which lends itself well to being what we envisioned as a ‘playful’ creeker, somewhere between a slicey boat and full-blown creek boat. Its versatility makes it a perfect match for challenging creeks or substantial eddy lines, and ideal for stern squirts. Length: 272 cm/8’11 | Width: 68 cm/27’’ | Weight: 21 kg/47 lb | Volume: 287 L/76 G | Max. Cap.: 113 kg/250 lb | Material: Plastic
