Man, looks like such a fun day on the water! Thanks for another great video!

Yes solid 2’ all weekend I forget how much fun that place is and especially in a good half slice so many deep eddy lines and currents perfect spot for half slice!

Damn Wade you're always improving. Ive been waiting for a ripper review thats my new boat. I spoke with you before about ripper vs rewind... I ended up with a medium ripper like yourself. I couldn't be happier with my boat, but I will say it has humbled me as an intermediate paddler. That boat will definitely put you in your place. I did throw out a few obscenities watching your video 😂 ive been getting the hang of the boat and trying to dial my stern squirt in with it. Meanwhile Wade is just tearing it up like its a video game. Keep posting man. Hope to paddle with u someday. Maybe you can teach this young blood a thing or two

Thanks Zac for watching glad I could help and yeah I will probably do something On stern squirts and how to hold one for length of time.

Thanks for the nice video. Looks like we have the same style when paddling down the river. I also like to hit as many eddys as possible and the ripper makes it so much fun. I got back into paddling 3 years ago after looking after my kids for more than fifteen years. Now my son paddles with me. It’s great! The ripper remind me of my old WS Frankenstein. But the ripper has agressive edges and less stern volume that make it fantastic to paddle. Kind Regards!

Love these reviews. I just started WW this year and really enjoying it. Started with an RPM and then also got a small Newmad. But I’m looking for a boat that surfs well and will take care of me while I work on my river running skills. Looking forward to thoughts on comparing this with the Antix 2 and Rewind. I’m 6’ and 155# (bare, not paddling weight). I’m thinking one of these boats would be right up my alley. Hope to able to test a few next season.

I’ve owned the small for a while. At only 23” wide and almost 9’ long it is definitely fast. I’m just not a fan of the low knee/leg position and lack of bow rocker. Rewind seems to fix both, but sizing isn’t right for me; small is tiny and medium too big.

Hey Levi, I’d be really interested in your thinking of having a small Ripper and also large Ripper. I have a small ripper and love it. Pushing into g4 now and looking for something to take me into G4+. Maybe a bigger Ripper? I’m not a fan of bathtubs.
@levirhodes80413 жыл бұрын
@@bryanwhiteaker5519 two totally different boats for people in the medium weight range. The width of the large is a fast, planing machine with some play to it. It’s just bath tubby enough for me to take it creeking, but I can also get it vert. It’s just fun to paddle. Probably not as tubby as a steeze, but similar idea.

Wish it let me show the picture of my ripper and her dent to the bow off a 25/30 foot cliff that I didn’t time the waves to the drop correctly. Hey I was board in northern France with no big water. Not the ripper fault I must add there wasn’t enough water just the driver need for adventure. Some how it didn’t punter the bow just sucked in in incredible.

I’m not sure you made this comment in this video. In other videos you have said that you put the ripper seat in the rearmost position. Can you tell us why?

Excellent on water review. Around 0:35 in you say "....enough volume up front to get over things and a nice tail." (or similar). Was that about kayaks or a freudian slip? :)

Ripper more river runner and Antix 2 more playful but little slow if I had to choose one overall I take the ripper I like more that downriver flow but both are extremely good boats

Which notches out of the 6 west notches does it come factory. I just bought a used ripper and they had the seat all the way forward and I want to get it adjusted to factory specs so I can feel it out
