The Mad Boy is Dragorossi’s newest addition to the river running line of kayaks.

The focus of this design is anything but simple, because its very nature as “advanced river runner” means it’ll be subjected to all the extremes from huge volume runs to the steepest of creeks. This presents an interesting design dilemma because the very thing that makes a boat good at one makes it bad at the other.


This is why it has taken us nearly 2 years to bring this design to market from its first conception. Getting it right was tough, but we got it right. The Mad Boy is as at home on a cascading vertical steep creek as it is on a raging monstrous flooded river.


The Mad boy is fast. Very fast, but we accomplished this without affecting its ability to boof easily. It turns on a dime, punches through the nastiest holes, and will skip effortlessly across the boniest slides without catching an edge. Stable, predictable, forgiving and most importantly, fun wherever you take it.


We didn’t set out to create the worlds best creeker, but this will creek with the best of them. We didn’t try to create the ultimate “Stikine style” river runner, but it will do it with style and ease. And if you’re just learning to paddle, you couldn’t ask for a more forgiving and encouraging platform. That’s how we make a good river runner!
