The Hoss is 7 feet, 10 inches long and has a volume of 70 gallons (US). All in all this makes the Hoss a comfy boat with plenty of foot room for my size 10 feet (UK). As with all of there other boats Liquid Logic provides a fairly comprehensive outfitting kit that includes an array of pads. Just a little bit of time and care is needed and the boat is ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On a safety note the Hoss is easy to exit, it also comes with grab bars made by Black Diamond – they are extremely well though out and well placed. Its great that LL have brought in experts from the climbing world to help push boat design\/outfitting that little bit further. This is something that should certainly be encouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Out on a grade III\/IV run the Hoss handled very well and was impeccably well behaved. The large volume inspires confidence! Yet when I wanted to let loose on a steep wave it delivered the goods. Carving was good and the hull loose enough for a spin or two at this point it reminded me very much of the LL Airhead. Despite its relatively short length forward speed was OK and I found that punching through stoppers proved to be easy and catching tight eddies the same – so a big thumbs up there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hoss is certainly another step in the development of kayaks and I believe that the it will appeal to many paddlers out there. It provides a good platform from which to learn, progress and even instruct. It will also prove to be a great big water boat, this I have no doubt. So it looks like LL have come of age, producing a fine river runner to sit along side its p ‘n p stable mates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your in the market for a new river runner this year prehaps you may want to consider the Hoss. Well worth a demo at least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since the good old days of the LL Session and Session+, Liquid Logic has focused on designs for the park ‘n play market.
