As soon as I found out that I would be moving back to Richmond, VA for grad school I started to brainstorm what kayak I’d want to use on the James. I’ve paddled this river for over 12 years, but the James remains a strong training ground where no two laps are the same. These changes are often due to fluctuating water levels, so having a kayak that is both playful at low water and stable at higher flows is essential if you’ve trying to limit your kayak quiver to one boat. Additionally, I wanted a boat that was as comfortable as a creeker (aka no foot pain), but still had some of the qualities of a playboat. Ultimately, I decided that my criteria for a new boat included: playfulness, stability for bigger water or creeking, and comfort while paddling. These factors sealed the deal for the Liquidlogic Party Braaap.
