My first look at the Scorch<\/a> as a base was through Instagram reels, as is the case for most of us. The instant thought about the boat\u2019s behaviour was how it seemed to snake or slither between features, represented especially by the boaters paddling the Scorch. \u00a0When paddling the Scorch, you can imagine yourself in a video, catching a ribbon of flow, riding it, and gliding out.<\/p>\n\n\n

Getting to use the Scorch X<\/a>, I got the very same feeling\u2026 the boat glides. For a 10-foot boat, it is agile and manoeuvrable; you pick a line, and you get it. It feels like an extension of your movement on the water, whereas some boats may drag you offline, you feel comfortable that the X is heading where you want it to. The most unique thing about the X is its ability to carve and manoeuvre, although it\u2019s a \u2018long boat\u2019; it\u2019ll sit on a wave for hours, carve with ease, and then, once you\u2019re done playing, it will throw down along the river, easily crossing eddy to eddy and picking up the bow over holes. The X has enough rocker to boof a house.<\/p>\n\n\n

Most of my time boating has been in the Ozone<\/a>; being a slice boat paddler 90% of the time, the expectation is that a big boat will be harder to paddle. Although the Scorch X has a gain in volume, it is not hard to move, still turning on a dime. The change is manageable, and it is a boat I expect to enjoy more with time.<\/p>\n\n\n

I\u2019ve had the opportunity to paddle the X on a high Dee, Ogwen, and the Llugwy\u2019s Chip Shop Drop. The X, although capable on harder whitewater, can still excel on your local grade 3 rivers. It is playful in a hole but also forgiving and fast when you need it to be. Also, excelling on the technical moves of the Ogwen, quickly moving between features and has the speed to change lines quickly. On Chip Shop Drop, I found that the X absolutely soars if you put a big stroke in, gliding out straight after. The Scorch\u2019s skip is a highlight of the boat, a feeling you look forward to. \u00a0I can\u2019t wait to get it out on some more hard water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
