Steeze vs. Puffy Steeze (And How To Make One)

[@mikecatura6210]

Any way to effectively turn the Steeze into a more slicey Steeze? Something that would be easier to squirt.

[@JakeYaks]

Your videos are pretty cool Alex

[@AlexBarham]

Thanks Jake!

[@Olrakp]

Thanks, your last sentence was my thought thru video, making a puffy goat haha have a good day Alex 🤙

[@AlexBarham]

[@MicajahMcCurry]

[@AlexBarham]

Yassssss send me some photos

Hey Alex, can we expect a ReactR and clutch Review?

[@AlexBarham]

Pyranha says they have a Reactr coming my way. I will have to see about nabbing a Clutch

[@timweldsalot6524]

Any possibility on doing a ReactR review and comparison to Indra?

[@AlexBarham]

They said one was on the way to me but I haven't seen it yet.

[@kayakvideos123]

Hey Alex, do you think it’s possible / good idea to do this to a ripper 2?

[@AlexBarham]

@@kayakvideos123 anything is possible. If you're willing to risk it I don't see why not

[@apexzero-three3216]

Might have to make a puffy firecracker for a winter boat…

[@AlexBarham]

Do itttttttttttt

And to think everyone hated on the large rewind for “basically being a creek boat” 😂🧐. And before you correct me, I get it; how things are marketed and the evolving trends in paddling sway perception drastically; which is topic you cover quite a bit and I appreciate. But I got to laugh at people that bought a playful half slice and are considering “puffing in,” not that I’m judging them, just funny how trends sway. For me this just another wrinkle in the everlasting quest for a true quiver killer, and that’s ok, it’s fun. I just like having 4-5 boats. I like your perspective that this is just what the modern river runner is now. But as some of your ninja experiments are showing, the water line on 9’ tail dragging boat is not inherently a good choice for the average paddler. That was my takeaway in comparing a steeze to the OG at least. Have not tired an Indra, but I know I can spin my Code dam near 360d with one draw, and on runs where you need that option, I can’t see the Indra being a good substitute.

[@AlexBarham]

I don't think anything is redeeming the Large Rewind lol. You're definitely going to see a wider platform than the Rewind going forward into these... free-ride?.... boats. I think that will be a key feature along with shorter length

[@bradelliot1027]

still going to do the indra, steeze, ninja comparison?

[@AlexBarham]

Yup! Life is crazy or it would already be done

[@bradelliot1027]

@@AlexBarham looking forward to it. 🙃

[@waka_kayaks]

The difference between the puffy and standard is made before the boat is cooled so it keeps its memory. Making changes after means the plastic will always resort to its original memory. So the deck will return to its shape and push the hull out of shape damaging the boat. Reversing it will result in major oil canning.

@@waka_kayaks guys I already reversed it without issues...
