The first prototype of my composite playboat started early this year but the process has been drawn out a long time because we have been working so hard on other boats and we want to get this thing just right. The composite playboat is really a long term goal that we are trying to achieve, and that goal is to create a boat that folks would like to paddle in the 2012 World Championships here in North Carolina and a boat that we’d like to paddle anywhere we go to playboat. No they aren’t for sale… yet.

Self Support kayaking with the Liquidlogic Freeride; Westwater UT
I suppose this is long out of order from my travels this summer but I just came across an SD card with all the shots from my trip down Westwater Canyon. It’s crazy that I’ve lived only 3 hours away from this beautiful place most of my life and never took advantage and hopped on a trip until this year. It was the perfect way to wind down after the crazy excitement of the Outdoor Retailer show where we launched the new Liquidlogic Stomper and all the other great products with Legacy Paddlesports. I was pumped to meet up with my good friends from First Descents and share some sun, beers, and good times in the canyon. I mean, truly, that’s what this sport is about. As much as it feels good to push yourself, and seek challenging whitewater. It’s the times spent with your friends on the river that really makes you keep coming back for more.
Liquidlogic Composite testing Ottawa: Garburator
Many people got to check them out firsthand at Gauley festival and see Jordan out there tearing it up. Liquidlogic is working on a new composite playboat. It doesn’t have a name and the only mission for Shane with the boat is to keep testing till it’s perfect and figure it out after that. We had an awesome set of sessions on Garburator Wave with the level holding at -1 feet. Here are some of Shane’s shots from the sessions and the video with Jordan Poffenberger absolutely killing it.
Liquidlogic Composite Prototype 1: M Wave, CO
So in addition to all the other work going on in the Liquidlogic factory. Shane has been at it on another little beauty as well. It doesn’t even have a name but it’s sure to get your attention. Here is a quick teaser from a session at M Wave. Thanks to Brianne Horton for shooting the video. We also took them up to the Ottawa and that footage will be up soon!
