To quote Tosh Arwood, head of the instruction program at NOC: "It's exciting to imagine a crossover that has the heritage of the Karma and Karma UL in it". This will be two boat series, this being the larger, to replace the Rogues, and need to look and be more whitewater oriented than the Rogues but still maintain stability and user friendliness for beginnners.
With the Karma (and UL/RG) being universally praised for its predictability and stability, we have a great starting point. A similar hull profile to the Karma, stretched out a bit for a longer, more versatile boat. Maintains look, parting lines, and similar rocker profile to Karma .
Feature rich...day hatch with pod, possible short recessed YakAttack rail beside cockpit, etc to set apart from competition and justify higher price. Primarily targeted to the novice to intermediate paddler, this boat will also double as a multi-day trip for advanced paddlers who want a shorter and more nimble boat than the Karma RG.
Opt River Running - 190
Rear Hatch- standard JK oval
Rudder Ready -skeg standard
Rudder Type - variation on Rogue skeg
Seat Type - WW
Product Features
1 - Total Versatility
Total versatility: class 2-4+ whitewater, occasional flatwater use, overnight/mulitday capability, easy to learn to paddle in, easy to roll. Also the person who wants only one boat in their quiver.
2 - High Performance Hull
Here's where we separate from the others. A stable, predictable hull with a strong link the Karmas, including really good initial stability but also great whitewater capability.
3 - Classic JK whitewater outfitting including new, lighter Unishock
All the ease of adjustability of JK whitewater boats, and the convenience and safety of the Unishock with less weight penalty.
4 - Gear Convenience
Day hatch is a convenient feature that appeals to casual and serious users. Deck lines and YakAttack rails for convenience/versatility
