I'm looking into something that can handle drops with stability and that is very well at river running.

Pyranha Ammo and Bliss-Stick SCUD would probably be the best choices. You could also look at a Liquid Logic CR or Jackson Fun, but I don't know how well they would handle drops. If you can find one, a Riot Sniper would work, and Fluid's small Solo is only 7'3". What kind of drops are you looking at (heightwise/class of rapid)?

1. Go to the kayak databse: playak.com/kayaks.php
2. Under select, choose all manufacturers (already pre-selected). Kayak Type: choose creeker. Models: select all years (scroll down and shift-click on the last option, then all years will be selected). Order results by: choose Length.
3. Hit Go!
If you're happy, you're successful.

Thanks again, Jeroen. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything that peeked my interest. I was, though, looking at the Pyranha Stretch Small. Not too big. the right price - new on ebay for about 600$, i'm wondering if anyone has ever paddle the Stretch, i suppose it's a question for another thread, i wish more people were on here, this is a great forum.
