THE ALL NEW ROCKSTAR!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simply our best hull design yet! Built shorter, lighter and aimed towards ease of use, comfort and skills progression, the NEW Rockstar is the new standard. EJ and Dave Knight have reshaped its hull to perform with better balance, responsiveness and with easier edging and carving power! Our new ergonomic design, stiffer make, enhanced hull support and customizable outfitting gives paddlers a much more comfortable paddle position, takes advantage of body strengths, lends to a stronger body\/boat interface and provides an easier roll.<\/p>\n

What makes all new Rock Star so special?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All New Shape makes Hole, Wave, and Flatwater Tricks easier. Improved materials selections makes the boat stiffer, lighter, and more durable. New outfitting and ergonomics gives the paddler more control and comfort.
\nHere is how we did it:<\/p>\n

1\u2033 shorter than our last Rock Star, but fits the same size person and handles the same body weight. Rotational speed is increased and drag on the ends, either wave or hole, are reduced. Moves start and complete easier, the boat is WAY more retentive than our previous model.<\/p>\n

Whitewater parks and shallow water play is more fun and the ends stay off the bottom better. Slicier Shape and improved volume distribution.<\/p>\n

Lighter weight paddlers are rewarded with much easier to initiate bow and stern, allowing them to boss the boat around.<\/p>\n

Everyone will find all vertical moves much easier to initiate. Maneuvering around in a hole or on a wave feels effortless.<\/p>\n

Improved Rocker Profile. Shorter, but faster- absolutely- we did it again- this is a speed demon on a wave!
\nNew Bow rocker profile (more rocker- starts earlier) allows for easy reverse takeoffs, easy back blasting in holes, and landings without stressing about catching your stern.<\/p>\n

Narrower Hull makes \u201cedge to edge\u201d transfers snappy, lower energy to initiate, and makes getting aerial on a wave much easier, and bigger than even our 2013 All-Star.<\/p>\n
