The plastic didn't gouge or scratch at the slightest offense. When boofing or bumbling into rocks, I didn't feel any flex. Velcro to the cockpit combing tended to slip and my spray deck wouldīuild quality, the Remix felt solid. I also found the hip padding that was attached with Shorter paddlers can easily slide my mini-cell foam under the outfitting Another suggestion would be to make it so that I probably would have liked the backband to be lowerĪnd/or more flexible. Really rigid which made it difficult to store dry bags with kit in the I would like to see the outfitting re-worked a little. At 33", it was a little bit of a stretch for me to get the spray deck on but not the usual effort that it takes to wrestle the spray deck onto the longer cockpit of most other whitewater kayaks. The Remix was comfortable for all day paddling.įurthering the comfort factor was the length of the cockpit. I felt that I had good connection to control the boat with my lower body without being super tight. They did not seem to be as wide as many other whitewater boats. I was pleased with the placement of the thigh hooks. This did the trick - it elevated me enough to have good contact with the thigh hooks and to be in a position for good paddling posture. Initially, I felt too deep in the boat so I put a strip of 3/4" mini-cell foam on the seat under my sit bones. The first thing that I noticed about the boat was how comfortable it was. Last week, our coast range rivers were flowing and Santa hadn't delivered yet so I decided to take the Remix 59 out. Jeff paddled it on the Grand Canyon and wasn't thrilled with it. Lots of boaters love it and have recommended it to me, but I have always thought it a bit big.
We've had a Liquid Logic Remix 59 in the Liquid Fusion Kayaking fleet for awhile now. The salesperson in the shop discouraged me from the boat saying that I didn't weigh enough for it so I passed on taking it for a test paddle. I sat in the Remix 59 and thought it had promise. I checked out the Liquid Logic Remix 47 which was way too small. Fortunately this is changing and more options are becoming available. I quickly became aware that the options are limited for a person of my size 5'4" and 120# - kids boats are too small and most adult boats are too large. When I was first getting into whitewater kayaking and realized that one of Jeff's hand-me-downs wasn't in my best interest (or his), we went shopping. Our rivers have been flowing so I decided to play around a bit with our Liquid Logic Remix 59 while I wait for my new steed. Rumor has it that Santa is bringing me a new whitewater kayak for Christmas.
