Creekboat Beta 17 years 5 months ago #22120

I am 135lb female looking for a good creekboat for BC rivers. Tried the Habitat but skill set is not strong enough(not a slalom boater) Any beta would be fantastic. I am thinking about a Jefe just a little worried about size!!:S

Small Solo? Michelle Basso (from BC) recently got into a small here in South Africa and she was super stoked about it. It was the first creek boat that actually fitted her and has paddled one since. Check her out:

It has numerous safety features like super strong, plastic pillars (instead of foam) and has a rib like stiffener in the bow that also acts as a step in case of a vertical pin. Check out some more photos here:

Well worth a demo. I think you'll like it. :)

Have a look at the Bliss Stick Huka and Mini Mystic both good solid boats. They should be available to you over in Canada.
