SQUASHTAIL & BIG SQUASH
Stats:
Length:
6’2”
Width: 25.5”
Material:
HTDP
Hold on to your helmet, this thing is a speed demon!
The Squashtail gives up all river
running and hole riding capabilities in order to take both river and ocean big
wave surfing to performance levels previously unavailable in a plastic kayak.
Again drawing from decades of surfboard design, the classic squashtail shape
combines with a rocker profile and tucked rails to produce a lightning-fast hull
with precision edging and explosive aerials. The innovative fin design allows
you to adjust the toe-in and flair angles, giving you more input on the kayak's
carving radius and rail lift. So whether you're a river paddler looking for more
performance in the ocean, a traditional ocean surfer looking for some of those
cool rodeo style moves, or a river paddler who's tired of butt bouncing and just
wants to link one aerial after another, the Squashtail packs a pleasant
surprise.
The Large Seat is for those who on average are about
5'10" and 180lbs. or larger. If you are smaller and have exceptionally
large thighs then you probably want to order the large.

THRUSTER
Stats:
Length:
6’4”
Width: 25.5”
Material:
HTDP
The
Thruster is the latest creation from DragoRossi’s design team, headed
by Corran Addison. From out top pro
paddlers, to our loyal customers, we’ve had overwhelming requests for
a playboat that excels at river running, is a machine on waves (big or
small) and throws down smoothly and easily in holes. The Thruster’s
hull is based on the classic squashtail surfboard style design. It has
tucked rails for better carving, a smooth template and rocker for
maximum speed and response time, yet it explodes into the air with ease.
It’s like a carving boat that airs like a “butt bouncer” – the
best of both worlds. In holes, the
slicy ends slip through the water effortlessly. Its tapered length makes
it stable on end, for linking endless ends, while its generous centre
volume makes it explode into the air for all the latest hole tricks.
The
defined anti-trip double edge makes this boat forgiving and easy to
paddle, while its speed in river running makes it a joy to paddle. This
is not the boat that larger paddlers have been asking for… It’s much
more than that!

STINGER
Stats:
Length: 6’4”
Width: 25.25”
Material:
HTDP
Ever wanted a kayak that would allow you to enter a rodeo on a
Friday, go creeking on a Saturday, and teach your best friend to paddle on a Sunday?
The Stinger is a “no holds barred” kayak that will let you do it all. The
Stinger’s design is focused on performing exceptionally in the areas that most
people spend the majority of their time.
The progressive swept rocker, works hand in hand with a template based on
surfing “funboards”. Raised tucked rails make this kayak unbelievably
forgiving and predictable and a curved deck profile for a kayak that is mindless
to roll, runs rapids with a dry deck, surfs like a dream without the nose
pearling and diving, and spins like a top.
For the beginner or intermediate paddler, the Stinger’s strength is its
ability to forgive all your mistakes, while encouraging correct technique. From
freestyle to easy creeking and river running, the Stinger is guaranteed to put a
smile on your face every time!

FISH
Stats:
Length: 6’6”
Width: 25”
Material: HTDP
Surfboard shapers have long known the benefit of the classic
fish shape: it produces thrust to push itself onto waves and accelerate down the
face. The Fish brings performance and precision to those of us without
world-class play features in our backyards. With deliberate volume placement,
you can run through rapids in control on your way downstream to your favorite
play spot. At 6'6" in length, it's faster than other playboats a foot
longer, and holds a carving edge like nothing else around. Drive the hull into
the oncoming water and feel the Fish explode back out for the biggest air you've
ever experienced. Fast, crisp, and retentive, the Fish offers new sensations to
everyone looking to move forward and create a new revolution in freestyle
kayaking.
The Large Seat is for those who on average are about
5'10" and 180lbs. or larger.

PINTAIL & PINTAIL XL
Stats:
Length: 7’4”
Width: 24.75”
Material: HTDP
The Pintail is designed for those who want to run the river with ease and
without fighting his boat all the way to the next wave.
High volume rivers, or low volume easy creeks, the Pintail is designed to
navigate with ease and confidence. Super easy to roll but at the same time
forgiving and predictable so that you’ll find yourself rolling a lot less than
you’re used to.
Based on the template of a surfboard pintail design, with rounded “tucked”
rails that run into a defined rail in the tip of the tail. Flared sidewalls for
forgiveness, and a slight twin concave hull that creates lift so it planes
quickly and spins easily. There is ample footroom for even the biggest paddlers,
with a spacious cockpit and an outfitting system that is second to none.
Whether you’re a complete beginner looking to progress within the sport or a
veteran looking to upgrade to an exciting, but not limiting, kayak, or a
hot-shot needing one “do-it-all boat” the Pintail is the one for you!

DragoRossi MAFIA
Stats:
Length: 7’10”
Width: 25.25”
Material: HTDP
When push comes to shove, you want all the protection you can
get. The Mafia has your back, keeping you safe with massive volume, nimble
maneuverability, and unmatched hull rigidity. At 7'10" long, this creeker
presents the perfect combination: blinding speed, precise tracking, and the
ability to turn on a dime. It displaces 72 gallons to ensure you stay on top of
the action, and the bow deck is meticulously shaped for controlled resurfacing.
The sides and edges of the hull are gracefully rounded to offer predictable
deflection from rocks. The waterproof hatch on the back deck allows access to
the rear compartment. The sealed bulkhead behind the backband adds incredible
structural hull strength, and eliminates the need for stern flotation bags.

CRITICAL MASS
Stats:
Length: 9'
Width: 26”
Material: HTDP
While
this may come as a surprise, most creek boats are not designed to
optimise performance in the extreme realm, but rather to cater to what
current trends dictate a creeker should look like. In this day and age,
that’s an ultra short boat with a long planning surface. A short boat
with no reach or vertical stability, whose ability to turn is restricted
by the effort to make it fast. Designers have known for some time that
boats are shorter than they should be, and that’s why lengths have
been creeping up each year.
The
Critical Mass takes the leap that is necessary of extreme kayaking to go
to the next level. It has the length to punch through holes, bridge
drops, and carry its speed over ramps and waves. But, the rocker shape
of the Critical Mass is such that it turns more easily than the vast
majority of kayaks a foot shorter, meaning you can make last minute
adjustments, correct yourself in the middle of a drop, and still have
the reach to glide over anything that comes your way. The rocker and
template of this versatile kayak are such that it’ll run steep creeks
that you’d expect to see a kayak a foot shorter on.
Over
the last few years, the common gripe of paddlers each seeking to push
their own limits has been that they’re held back by the equipment:
modern kayaks lack the ability to make those critical lines, and lack
the mass to push through anything the river throws at you. Not any more!
