The competition level freestyle boat for the mid-sized paddler. Team D wondered what would happen if you took a spud boat and made it faster, slicier, and more controllable. To find out, we ran the Kingpin through our R&D wringer more than any boat we’ve ever produced. What you see here is the result. No-compromise performance in, on, or above whatever hole or wave you decide to dominate. With its’ knifey ends, the Kingpin cartwheels and blunts like longer boats, but in places they can’t even fit. Its hull and rocker profile were developed for cutting edge performance so there’s no need to worry about sacrificing looseness or hop, but it’s been tweaked for speed. So instead of just Macho Moving that wave, you can catch it, and then destroy it. But wait, there’s more. With the addition of our AirCore™ hip pads, a Precision adjustable seat, thigh braces and Camlok™ backband, you’ll be more comfortable than you’ve ever been. You’re welcome.

Overall this boat is perfect for me at 83 kgs... if you weigh 65, your going to need the kingpin 6.1... and the 6.1 would be a great fit for you and to start doing more technical moves in flatwater.
