Refinement… The Project is a result of countless hours spent contemplating, visualizing, discussing, experimenting and testing all the little things most people don’t even notice about a kayak. Even the smallest change in chine angle, sidecut profile, volume distribution, rocker profile, and how these variables interact lead to dramatic changes in performance. By taking time to explore the details, we’ve discovered new ways to improve how a boat interacts with water, and you. The Project is a result of our commitment to the art of refinement. It combines a fast, loose hull that hops and carves with a deck profile designed to maximize pop while maintaining fluidity during linked vertical moves. With three sizes we’ve been able to increase comfort for a wider range of paddlers and raise the bar on performance. This project is now complete….

Wavepsort project 45

About the reviewer

Compete in youth freestyle and alpkit series, keen freestyle and creek boater

Test environment

Paddle aat hurley regularly as well as nottinham, then nene, tryweryn, and other rivers around the UK.

Review

Cartwheels, loops and blunts with ease. Legroom was an issue for me but for a shorter paddler it shouldn't be a problem. Outfitting is super comfy, and ratchets work really well. Hull is extremely fast on waves but does dent quite easily. I put a huge dent in mine when running boulter s weir???

Even so much better than the star.

Conclusion

Probably the best playboat out there for the smaller paddler. I highly reccommend it!

Best boat ever!

This is the best playboat I've paddled and I think it's amazing! Easy to cartwheel, good pop and good balance. Feels really good to paddle.
