A longer playboat tuned for modern tricks that still runs rivers, dropped chines, stern rocker, and volume placement that makes carves/ spins loose and cartwheels come alive.

Description: The Torque evolves the Hot Whip concept to push play performance without sacrificing river-running confidence. Dropped chines and stern rocker let it carve harder, drive faster, and spin more loosely on a wave, while the refined bow volume keeps cartwheels accessible. The rocker profile preserves control in pushier water, so this isn’t just a park-and-play boat, it’s the 9-times-out-of-10 choice for paddlers who want to run the river and play their brains out on the same lap. MSRP $1,399.

Why it should win (technical points):

• Hull tuning that matters: chines/rocker/volume optimized for fast carves, loose spins, and classic vertical moves.
• Play + river run in one hull: freestyle feel without giving up down-river control.
