LiquidLogic Sweet Ride Whitewater Kayak

A half-slice hull built to run the river
01 — HULL & ROCKER

A half-slice hull built to run the river

The Sweet Ride pairs a big, planing hull platform with an RMX-influenced bow rocker so you stay on top of the water and skip downstream. It is high-performance river running with a generous side of play.

  • Big RMX-influenced bow rocker pops up and over obstacles
  • Large hull platform keeps you sitting on top of the water
  • Fast 9-foot length carries speed and spins on a dime
Hard edges when you want them, forgiving when you don't
02 — EDGES & STABILITY

Hard edges when you want them, forgiving when you don't

The edges are hard enough to carve and hold a line, but tucked up slightly so they stay out of the way while you slide down rocks. That balance makes the Sweet Ride confident through rock gardens and rowdy water.

  • Hard, slightly tucked edges carve turns and hold lines
  • Edges stay clear when sliding over rocks
  • Stable 26.5-inch beam for a wide paddler weight range
A performance stern that slices, squirts, and splats
03 — STERN & PLAY

A performance stern that slices, squirts, and splats

Extra volume behind the seat keeps you moving downstream with confidence, while the stern slices down super thin at speed. That lets you pivot turn quickly, squirt on eddy lines, and splat rocks on the fly.

  • Extra volume behind the seat for downstream momentum
  • Thin slicing stern for quick pivot turns and squirts
  • Splat rocks and catch waves with a playful half-slice feel
74 gallons of volume sized for real paddlers
04 — FIT & VOLUME

74 gallons of volume sized for real paddlers

With 74 gallons of volume and a paddler weight range of 120 to 240 pounds, the Sweet Ride fits a broad spread of paddlers. The generous cockpit makes entry and exit easy without giving up control.

  • 74 gallons of volume for a forgiving, lively ride
  • Paddler weight range of 120 to 240 lbs
  • Roomy 35.25" x 20.5" cockpit for easy entry

Got my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!

So pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!

I bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.

The Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.

Bought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.

You guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.

About this kayak

WhitewaterRivers & Moving WaterWhitewater

📞 Call 1-800-442-4837 for shipping information and cost.

The LiquidLogic Sweet Ride is a high-performance river runner with a serious side of play. This half-slice is focused on running the river in a fun, progressive way — boofing downstream, carving through rock gardens, catching waves on the fly, and squirting seams. Nothing is sweeter than playing your way down the river.

A big RMX-influenced bow rocker lets you pop up and over any obstacle. The wide hull platform and rocker profile keep you sitting on top of the water, skipping downstream and spinning on a dime. Crisp edges are hard enough to use but tucked slightly so they won't catch on rocks. A performance-driven stern carries a little extra volume behind the seat for confident downstream momentum, then tapers to a thin tail for quick pivot turns, eddy line squirts, and rock splatting.

Key Features

  • Big RMX-influenced bow rocker — pop over any obstacle with ease
  • Wide hull platform — sits on top of the water for skipping and spinning
  • Crisp, tucked edges — usable without catching on rocks
  • Performance stern — confident downstream speed with a thin tail for pivot turns and squirts
  • Available Colors: Venom, Gold, Shark Blue
