You like to run the steeps. You do it in the company of friends you can trust. You scout the lines, set up safety. But when you get in your boat, leave the eddy to aim for the horizon line, you're really going Solo.
The Solo series of creekboats, which until now consisted of the Small, Large and Expedition Solos, are the benchmark for modern creekers. Since the Solos went in production, there were many requests from paddlers who wanted a Medium version. So Fluid listened, and created the boat that completes the Solo series. It has the same core design of the other Solos, and the same robust plastic pillar system. It also has all the new outfitting, like the better looking seat pads and backrest, better gripping hip pads, more comfortable and stiffer thigh braces, and, of course, the new powder coated die-forged aluminium alloy handles.
Each size of Solo has been tested over a year period before release by various team paddlers (and also some novices and intermediates) on 3 continents and one island (New Zealand). The Solo prototypes have been put through their paces on everything from super low volume runs and rock slides to big volume creeks, steep and continuous runs, a variety of waterfalls, overnight trips and full-on expeditions. Name the application for a creekboat and we've tested it there. When all the testing was done, the Solos went through 5 distinct prototype stages. The final product is a testimony to the brilliant feedback received.
The Solos feature semi displacement hulls, with soft enough rails to keep even the most conservative paddler happy. They turn on a dime, carve like demons and boof on command. Responsiveness and speed is what they're made for. The rocker profile assist in stability when landing drops, and keeps you going where most boats will stall and backender. The decks are slightly peaked for controllable resurfacing without losing speed. The perfectly distributed volume keeps you on top of the funny water, making class 5 creeks safer and more fun.
