A shorter, sharper half-slice for paddlers who want to throw down, this Storm is one to chase ⛈️.
The wider hull, evolved rail design, and a completely revised rocker profile create what might be the loosest half-slice design we have ever paddled. Incorporating lessons learnt from the ReactR, the Storm allows you to lock in directional control by engaging the rails on a wave, in a hole, or while paddling downstream, and spins like a hurricane to your delight when flat 🌪️.
The Storm’s volume distribution is a progression from that of the Firecracker 🧨, designed to keep the bow dry when paddling, but allow lightning-fast engagement and response with impressive pop for bigger air when throwing downriver moves.
A refined bow shape, and a strong recurved rocker profile at the tail boost the speed of the Storm. The overall waterline has been developed to maintain that speed, and lower the plaining barrier, meaning surfing has less resistance on waves of all sizes and depths 🌊.
The Storm is a revolutionised half-slice design, available in three sizes, each offering unrestrained freeride potential.
Which is short and loose enough to maximise play potential.
A freeride half slice
The performance of this kayak is elevated by sidewalls and rails which encourage you to get stuck into and play in new features while always being in control.
Sidewall and Rails
Allows for better, faster transitions between those rails.
A contoured hull
The large planing surface with great release edges loosens up the hull and makes the Storm come alive on a wave.
Large planing surface
The recurved stern lifts when planing to give a longer effective waterline than the kayak’s apparent length, especially satisfying when paddling downstream or surfing.
Recurved stern
A well-balanced tail slices smoothly and has the width and volume to generate skips out of drops and remain on the surface when headed downstream.
A well-balanced tail
A balanced rocker profile helps the Storm maintain that speed.
Balanced rocker profile
The reduced bow volume can be engaged when playing, opening up loops and macho moves, but with plenty of lift from the bow rocker and efficiency in shedding water, it doesn’t load up when you don’t want it to.

Storm
Us kayakers see the world a little differently. When it rains, we tend to cheer, not sulk!
In this edit, Aaron Kendall, Becky Green, Emily Davies, and Zach Flatt have twice the reason to be shouting, "Whoop whoop! The Storm is here!"
'Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.' - Vivian Green
