The Fluxx takes surf kayaking to the next level - Combining the powerful seating position and comfort of a whitewater kayak, with the performance of a waveski to open up a whole new dimension of moves.




a classic hull shape, with aggressive 'vee' through the tail will ensure the boat planes early and releases easily - late drops, big turns, and insane aerials are now all a reality.


Designed to dominate in 2-6ft surf, the Fluxx is the surf kayak we have all been waiting for.........

Fluxx rips at Mundaka

About the Reviewer


I come from a mostly playboating background, kayaking as often as i can, usually once a week now that I’m not in uni being able to kayak every day!

Test Environment


Tested the Fluxx in north Spain (Mundaka and Laga)at a kayak festival and Wales (Llangennith)

Review


Coming from a playboating background i have found the seating position in most surf kayaks very strange with the knee position being very close and thus unstable. However with the Fluxx I found that it was very stable with my knees being wider apart. This gives you the confidence to do more and with more of a natural position.

When i first paddled out and was about to get the usual spanking by the break, I found my self shocked by the way the boat seamed to float up and over the pile! The way the boat is designed makes paddling out back effortless and leaves you with more energy to rip the wave.

As for surfing it seems very loose and super light at only 8kg!! and at that weight who can complain!

Conclusion


Overall the fluxx is the best kayak I’ve ever paddled out in surf and the comfort is outstanding. It’s a perfect boat for transition from playboating to surf kayaking. I think this boat is wicked and will definitely be buying one, especially at how cheap they are compared to other carbon kayaks.
