Old School Creeker, good for new school creeking as well if you can handle the length. Original marketing text:
At last, a short creeker with playboat performance! Its moderate chine carves positive eddy turns and peel outs - surfs and 360s with ease. It'll even backender pirouette. It's the next step in Corsica performance!

I chose this boat over the Braaap because of my comfort level in it. Playing Epic 3 days a week where we are colliding and hauling constantly (high turnover rate with the disk). I have nearly paddled myself over in this boat and I know exactly where my boundaries are. If I knew the Braaap well enough, I probably would have chosen that instead. I also tend to enjoy lower volume boats more. Compared to a Jefe Chico, it boofs less in smaller waves. The Jefe can rodeo on those little waves all day. This guy I have to put it sideways through the waves to really play in them. I would run waterfalls in an overflow before either of those two though. Braaap would be a close second. I personally love this boat and I'm really happy with how it performs in whitewater creeks.

About Me
I'm a guide in training in Alaska. This summer has been my intro to whitewater kayaking. I've run a bunch of Liquid Logic boats down a variety of rivers. XP 9 for camping and creeking, BRAAAP on creeks, Jefe on creeks. Played a bit in some Class 4 rapids this summer.
Pros / The Good
I've been playing Epic Kayak Ultimate in this boat all summer. It's decently agile, turns on a dime, and is large enough to block out some of the heavier boats on the field. I finally got to run it down some class 4 and it just bounces off the rocks like a dream. I want to be there - *One good dig* - done. Got stuck going through a rock garden sideways without a paddle. Bump bumpity bump. The rocker is high enough to keep me out of much trouble. It will surf large waves, smaller ones at an angle. Dropping through falls is very proficient. Carves through walls rather effectively.
Cons / The Bad
It's long. It's not a playboat. This sucker cuts through waves instead of surfing them. On the other hand, it's very easy to precisely maneuver through the waves. If your doing flat water (in a creeker?) glue on a skeg.
