Scooter and Big Wheel are the next generation freestyle kayaks designed by Shane Benedict.

They are the fastest shorties to date for Liquid Logic. Freestyle paddlers that "feel the need for speed" will love how they catch, bounce and crave waves. By extending the chine, reducing the amount of rocker, lengthening the planing surface and narrowing the hull Shane was able to gain the speed required for more high flying antics.

About Me
6 foot tall with size 9 feet and about 65kg. Not hugely strong either
Pros / The Good
The back end is rediculously short making it really slicey and easy to get onto and its nice to loop. On a wave it accelerates really easily down the face.
Cons / The Bad
spin disc lets it down by catching to much making it a bit flushy at times. its got a large volume in the front making it very unstable in bow stalls

Fun and easy to paddle

About myself



Been paddling for about 3 years, not much of a serious playboater but I'm starting to get more into that

About the test environment



Penrith was built for the Olympic and it was the site for the Freeestyle Worlds and PreWorlds 04/05. Grade 3. lots of varied play.

Review



I really liked the scooter, found it easy to control in a surf, quick edge to edge switches. Feels smaller than the volume suggests, it's slicey enough that cartwheels should be no prob (once i learn how to do them). Narrowness great for surf control but a little edgier so will take a little bit of getting used to but overall very forgiving boat to paddle.
Outfitting simple and comfy (seat and thighs) didn't like backband at all, didn't ratchet tight enough and rubbed like sandpaper. So I've got my old RAD one in there for now.
Got foot foam in instead of their bean bag thingy too because it moved around way too much.

Conclusion



Very happy in this boat, everyone said I should try a vision instead but I like the extra volume in the scooter (compared to small vision) and I find the baot more comfy to paddle.
