fun boat

I'm a Class IV paddler, I've been paddling for 3 years




I paddled the Huck 2 days on Clear Creek@215 cfs Class IV, low volume steep creek.


My prevoius creek boat was a Necky Blunt. In comparison The blunt fells more stable but for me it feels too big. The Huck feels almost like a playboat. It turns faster, gets up to speed faster and feels much more lively. Both boats have no-frills outfitting that I prefer.The Huck feels very comfortable for me. The plastic on thr Huck feels hard and slick. The Huck does feel a bit more "Tippy" than the Blunt. My first day in the Huck I spent more time than usual upside down. The second day though I found my balence and had a blast.




I think that the Huck will make harder runs and creeks more fun than a bigger creek boat. If I were running the extreme stuff I would rather be in my old Blunt.
