Please note that all boats you must CALL TO ORDER. Please call us at (800)874-5272 to order the boat(s). We will ship most whitewater kayaks from $50- $75 via forward air terminal to terminal. This is the most inexpensive way to ship boats. What this means is that you will have to go to the Forward Air Terminal nearest you to pick up your purchase. You will need to visit
www.forwardair.com to find the location nearest you before you call to speed the order along. We can also ship canoes and larger kaysk via Forwad Air from $75-$150If for some reason it is easier to just pay more for shipping (i.e. too far away to the terminal) them we can arrange door to door shipping on most whitewater boats from $150-$200.
These pictures are of the actual boat.
The Spice is not the perfect boat to learn how to loop (although you can), it's also not the perfect boat to do a first descent on a class 5 creek somewhere in an isolated corner of the world (although you can), but if you want a boat that will take care of you on unfamiliar runs, enables you to surf waves on the run that other paddlers can't even catch, if you want a boat that gives you an exciting ride without being temperamental, you need to add some Spice to your life.
It has the proven Fluid play hull, which means it is super loose on waves. The length of the boat combined with gradual kickrocker makes it fast, both on waves and downriver. The smooth rails will make you carve on a wave like you don't expect from a riverrunner, and also give you precise control when manoeuvring in rapids. Apart from being a forgiving yet performing riverrunner, the Spice is also great fun on ocean waves.
Most volume is distributed around the cockpit, where it is also slightly peaked to keep this boat on top of the water. The ends are not too slicy though, as the boat was designed to keep you in control on funny water.
Paddlers on the upper end of the weight range will find the Spice a nice playful riverrunner, while paddlers on the lower end of the weight range can expect a forgiving boat that will allow them to run complex rapids with ease. For beginners, this is the perfect boat to introduce them to the art of running rapids and surfing waves.
