Spade Kayaks answer to the new Olympic discipline of Kayak Cross (Extreme Slalom) and yet so much more! If you want to be successful in tough competition, you need a fast, agile kayak that executes radical manoeuvres without a second thought. Wait that sounds like a boat with which you can have endless fun in real whitewater, too? Thats right! You could say the Barracuda is a smaller Joker with a flatter stern.
But to do it justice, well need to elaborate a little further: Overall, the platform is kept a bit narrower to generate more speed through a steep paddle stroke. And to make sure that speed isnt lost on the next stopper, the Barracuda has a re-designed rocker and steeper sidewalls in the bow. And in the back? Thats where the party starts! Thanks to significantly more slice in the rear end of the boat, the stern cuts through the water like a knife through butter. But don't worry the Barracuda is balanced so that the slim tail can be released just as easily, giving you an extra boost. Enjoy the ride!
