This is the boat that goes where others fear to tread.

The Freefall's short hull, high buoancy, and upswept contours gove it the edge in tight, technical streams, and it's not jsut a creek boat -- it excels in everything from hand-surfing to 360's. It pirouettes and booming enders contributed to many rodeo championships in 1992! With stability and control in nearly any situation, what teh shorter design gives up in speed, it more than makes up in acceleration -- keeping up with boats a foot longer.

Floating the Mulberry in the Dagger Freefall

About the reviewer


I've been kayaking for about 2 years now mostly class II and III stuff.

Test environment


I've floated The Mulberry river at everything from darn near dry to flood stage.

Review


The Freefall is a great boat, forgiving in the eddies and a wonder on big waves. In a rapid it's very stable and if it's a moderately straight rapid you barely even have to paddle to keep the boat where it needs to be. Very responsive to hip and foot pressure.

Conclusion


I like it, I'd suggest it to a beginner who's wanting something stable or someone more advanced who's looking for something that's quick and speedy. It's a solid creeker and will take you down waterfalls and whatever you come across with alacrity!
