year, but I went back to my old boat that I have used for 7 years, so
selling this one.
Asking $625 due to the little use it has gotten. Boat is located in
Portland Oregon. Shell email

And of course the hype from Playaks website:
This 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.
