The Stomper follows the long lineage of outstanding creek designs at Liquidlogic.
Its beginning and history start here on our home river, the Green. Developing the Stomper began by blending the speed, stability and rolling ability of the Remix Series with the bomber construction, safety, and boofability of the Jefe Series. This combination, coupled with the Stomper's playful semi-planing hull will give you the confidence to maximize your experience on your local run and take you far into your paddling future.

Design Features of the Stomper

Semi-Planing Hull = effortless turning in any situation
Chamfered Edges = carving edges that snap into eddies but don't trip you up
Smooth Transition Rocker Profile = gives the Stomper its speed
Rounded side wall = incredible stability
Crowned Deck = quick and easy surfacing from under water
Big Bow Rocker = get your bow up and over anything
New Seat System = easier access to the stern of the boat for storage
Bad Ass Outfitting = the most comfortable outfitting in the industry
Aircraft grade aluminum security bars
Industry leading Aquatuff plastic

About Me
Can't recommend liquid logic products. Their customer service is terrible. Provided us with misleading information and were then unresponsive. Nicely designed boats, but horrible customer service. Cost us hundreds of dollars and a lot of time without a boat. Extremely disappointed with them.
Pros / The Good
Good design, but horrible customer service.
Cons / The Bad
Customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. I was in retail for years and I would never consider treating customers with such little regard.

This is cut and paste from a comment I made on the CKS review page:

I picked up my baby yesterday, a 80. With some quick adjustments at the put in this morning I paddled a 3+/4 with flat in between to get the feel of the new boat. I came over from a Burn and most recently a Solo. Both of those boats were great but the Burn felt a bit to slicey and the Solo I loved for its forgiveness, great construction and short length. I’m 6′ and 162lbs. I’m not going to compare it to the Jefe since I haven’t paddled one for any long period of time but the Stomper is faster than both by a lot, more stable than both but yet it’s not a notchy stability like the Burn with a flat then fall to secondary, this thing is super smooth with an uncanny ability to let you recover from any mistakes you made. Rolls easier than any other boat I’ve been in(wide range as I’ve owned 15 or so)and I forgot how comfortable LL makes their outfitting. The Solo had great outfitting but sat a bit high, the Stomper sits super low with a high butt so I felt more in contact with the flow. It tracks like the Burn but can spin and change direction with a fraction of the effort. I ran one of the rapids backwards(on purpose)and never came close to flipping. This is a great boat to me and I have no regrets with my purchase. Now to get some more rain so I can check it out on some of the local creeks with drops. Thanks Shane and crew at LL for making me smile even though I was super hung-over. Chris
Side note: if you get one of the Black Ops keep a flashlight handy to see inside cuz it’s full-on blackout in there!!

A little under 3 years of paddling, I'm a solid class 4 paddler with the occasional creek thrown in for adrenaline. 6', 162 lbs
Pros / The Good
Solid build, Faster than any boat in it's category, turns on a dime yet holds a line laser straight. Out fitting is couch like yet hugs like your ex used to, low seat puts you in the water with more reaction to your input. Did I say fast?? Black Ops looks awesome!
Cons / The Bad
I'm now broke
