The Vibe continues Necky's research into aggressive rails.

An unashamedly uncompromising design, the Vibe is all about edges. The very pronounced rails yield awesome carving ability and the speed needed to take aerials to a new altitude. The Vibe has incredible bite in rail-to-rail transition and loads ferociously, storing energy for explosive moves. There's lots of volume building quickly from the bow for huge aerial loops and serious "pop." New aluminum outfitting and custom fit means that your every move is transmitted to the kayak. This is the boat that Billy Harris paddled to a 5th place finish at the 2003 Worlds in Graz, Austria.

Good overall boat.

About myself


I started kayaking about a year ago.

About the test environment


Good if the water is high. Terrible if low.

Review


Good boat with good handling. Goes down rapids extremely smoothly. Seat is quite nice but the knee pads are annoying. Easy to carry and can handle tricks amazingly well. For a beginner not a great learning boat but still good.

Conclusion


Good overall boat.
