Six puts together stiffness and lightness in a design aimed at steep creeks. Born for the most intensive free ride, this kayak is stable, fast (super-fast indeed) and amazingly reactive!

This design aimed to cover a specific spot in EXO boats’ range: creeking!

At EXO we were looking for something different from the mainstream solutions involved in steep creeking boat designs, our aim was to develop a light, fast and super reliable kayak.

A kayak able to exploit at best the paddling techniques involved in running complex and vertical whitewater rapids; a boat with a good balance and a great resurface attitude in running big waterfalls; a super reactive semi-displacement hull that provides soft landings, rock agnostic in low waters, with a continuous rocker to give this boat a super-easy boof. This kayak is targeted for an advanced paddler who is looking for a technical hull able to enhance his whitewater performances in very complex environments, mainly steep and high volume creeks.

The Six is a radical new boat, it’s the sixth brand new project for EXO kayaks. Like the other “X” projects (Xt, Xg, Xm, Xp3, Xw1) the Six is completely based on computer aided design process that include software dynamics simulations in different water environments.
