Liquidlogic Party Braaap

Product detailed description

A revolutionary mix of performance and entertainment

Party Braaap brings a new dimension to the world of river running kayaks. It retains the DNA of the original Braap in the form of a slalom bow and hull design, but adds more fun character with a modified stern. It's a kayak for those who want to combine precision passes with freestyle elements.

The Liquidlogic Party Braaap is a unique combination of a precision river runner and a playful freestyle boat. Thanks to clever modifications to the stern, it offers more options for vertical tricks and surfing, while retaining excellent technical water handling.
