Run your home rapids, stop to surf, throw some ends then glide down, huck a drop, go back to the top to do it again.

The Varun has it all, forgiving edges, speed and maximum playability to give any white water enthusiast an awesome time on the river. Slicey ends allow you to initiate all the classic vertical moves plus it has enough speed to run the river in style.

Length:
Surf the smaller river features and run rapids with confidence and style.

Width:
Stable and forgiving for beginners to white water.

Rocker:
Gives a great compromise between speed and lift to initiate moves.

Slicey ends:
Easy to squirt on eddy lines and initiate vertical moves.

2 way rails:
Born from the Molan, refined and coupled with a new side wall profile to give a forgiving ride with edges that allow move initiation and release.

Low back deck and cockpit lip:
Easy to learn to roll in or just get back the right way up!

Curved angles:
Back hull and wall angles are shallow to make a forgiving ride.

This is a very fast boat for the length it has. I found it very nice on waves, playing was easy on many different features and I had no trouble with spinning, cartwheels and blunts.
The boat boofs really well, and caries over waves nicely.

About Me
Paddled the boat a few times on white water now
Pros / The Good
Really Fast
Great Volume distribution
Perfect all rounder.
Cons / The Bad
Not the top freestyle boat. Not the top river runner. But the perfect option for both.

I have had this kayak for six months and have found it`s not for me. It has given me swims when I least expect it and where I don`t normally swim. I found taking it down my normal courses and rivers that it certainly catches the eddy line, and have found it quite unstable. I know people highly rate and are impressed by this kayak, but it`s not to everyones taste, especially mine. I have resorted going back to an old school S6F.

Would I recommend this boat....That would have to be your choice
