Liquidlogic-Stomper 90 test by andrej Bijuklic

Stomper 90
The doors have been opened and the evolution was realised. Stomper the new toy from Liquidlogic had spread around the globe and is now here in Slovenia. liqiudlogic is developing new ideas year after year and trying to connect kayakers with water in that way that paddling became easy and spontaneously.
The new wave of extreme kayakers, which are pushing the limits to the maximum, helped to design this boat.  The result is a boat that is prepared to go to the maximum. The youngest brother of Jefe is a blend between speed, stability and rolling ability a great combination for step creeks. Every shape have it function and reason.
I tested the stomper 90, for me it was the perfect combination, I like big boats and I paddle with me body lined forwards, write on the deck where is the most efficient on turnings. It turns smooth and fast, probably the redesigned tail offers enough safety to push you out from any problem and let you turn in any situation. Sometimes I had the feeling that the tail is going too much under water but it always keeps the forwards momentum. Rocker is a classical icebreaker and is going over anything. For me the highlight are the reshaped edges, they are the heart of this boat. Edges are soft on slides in the water they offer enough grip and forgiveness to go one step further.
Badass is the name that Liqidlogic is using for their outfit which is, comfortable, adjustable and simple also they did a small innovation on stomper,making easier access to the stern of the boat for things that you need on water.
