The Acid Drop, available in two sizes, are the ultimate river running creekers. While they are not quite as creek dedicated as the Chaos Monkey, they are slightly more lively to paddle.
Nimble, responsive - even sporty feeling - this kayak can creek side by side with the best of them, while still offering a performance style that keeps you excited. Carving in and out of eddies like a slalom kayak, the Acid Drop keeps its speed and holds a line. If you're running serious class 5, you need to have the skill set to make this boat work, but for those class 4 outings, even moderately skilled paddlers will really enjoy the sporty sensation you get out of paddling this kayak.
The rocker is slightly more relaxed, and the hull lightly curved side to side, giving it a smooth edge to edge feel requiring minimal body input. Easy to roll because of the curved lines throughout, it allows you to push yourself taking cool lines through your favorite rapids. It resurfaces instantly, carrying forward speed moving you out and away from drops keeping your fast zippy flow going.
