Inspired and energised by the handling of the successful Machete, Lettmann has designed a new creek boat. The flat bottom, the hard edge: inspired by the Machete. The bow rocker: likewise, thanks! But the company from Moers has added a bit more. More rocker at the front and a whole lot more volume behind the cockpit make the THP safer in big water and after drops, letting you boof and skip even drier. Speaking of boofing: it's never been this easy! The stern with its machete-sharp edge cuts into the water like a bush knife through a vine. The central volume package at the stern then launches you off the lip into orbit — if you want it to. This creek boat is extremely easy to control and significantly more sensitive than it appears at first glance. Course corrections at full speed, quick spins over the stern — you don't have to miss out on any of that with this creek boat either! Voilà — "The Horny Potato"!
The name — what's that about? The first prototype was, admittedly, not a looker. A prototype doesn't have to be. It quickly got its nickname: Potato. Because the handling was so incredibly stoke-worthy, the Potato also quickly earned its reputation: "What an awesome potato". There you go!
