The Project X represents a half-decade of freestyle research from the world’s top kayak design team. We have truly discovered a new benchmark in paddler control both on waves and holes, with absolutely no sacrifices.

The new boat is a major evolution of the original Project and homage to the legacy of the X, however it is not a melding of the two popular designs. With a completely new look, new aggressive performance features, and a blazing white outfitting system, this boat delivers the extreme whitewater performance for which Wave Sport is known.

According to Wave Sport’s lead designer, Robert Peerson, the progressive rocker shape of the Project X hull, combined with the new volume distribution, puts the Project X in new territory for performance and comfort. “The Project X is finely tuned to maintain speed, give explosive pop, offer easier release, and provide smooth control over any wave for easier execution of moves,” he said. “More volume has been added around the knees, which allows for control, maximum comfort, and a slicier performance at the ends.”

In addition, new sizing options, combined with the improved volume distribution, give a broad range of paddlers even greater comfort and control. “It delivers in all whitewater conditions,” Peerson said.

The stunning “WhiteOut” outfitting system lets paddlers hit the rapids in a one-of-a-kind, dazzling all-white material. The unmistakable wallpaper logo pattern contrasts with the fabric for a visual that’s almost as much fun to stare at as it is to get in. The unique vinyl covering the seat, hip-pads, backband, and thigh braces is also water-repellant, meaning less dry time and better mildew control.

About Me
PLayboats, slalom, creeking and squirt. I do a bit of everything and I enjoy the variety. Ive been playbaoting for a fair few years now, for more about me check out www.sethashworth.co.uk
Pros / The Good
White outfitting-looks pimp and well comfy
wide hull, with rails coming right out tho the egde makes it fast. short stern makes tricks easy to pull through. slicey bow makes initiating cartwheels etc easier
Cons / The Bad
could do with a touch more volume in the bow, aggresive rails might not suit every paddler, slabey side s make cartwheeling a bit less forgiving,
Recommend
Yes
