Some interesting stats mixed in there. What is the difference between “creeking”, “Full on Creeking” and “High Performance Creeking”? What do you think?
These days a lot of people seem to think that a grade 3 bimble is classed as creeking! At least it seems that way from the number of huge volume boats I’m seeing!
Who cares. If you like it and it works for you, buy it and paddle it on whatever you want ♀️
Any clues as to who is making these for Waka now? Is it Rainbow? Or Dragorossi? Or somebody else?
I want to say they are made with ZET
