Following the
Rexy , EXO Kayak once again proves its innovative spirit and keen sense of shape. With the Zion series, EXO is clearly setting new standards in the whitewater sector. The EXO Zion Creek L is ultra-fast yet incredibly maneuverable. This combination of two qualities is what makes the Zion series so special.
The Creek L is a great boat for heavier and taller paddlers. It offers plenty of safety margin for really challenging whitewater. At 271 cm long, the boat is quite long and therefore pretty fast. However, the bow is significantly less bulky than, for example, on the
Waka Puffy Steeze . The seating position is therefore also somewhat different: the legs are more stretched out and not as far apart. Because the boat is narrower, it handles extremely well over the rail and is also great for boofing over the stern.
The Exo Zion Creek L has by far the biggest rocker we've ever seen! The boat is practically a semicircle! This leads to several things. For one, the bow ALWAYS stays dry. It zips, pushes, and bounces over everything in its path. The rocker at the stern is also considerable. As a result, even after big boofs, you rarely get thrown out of position. Another important point: due to the banana shape, even small changes in seating position have a significant impact on the boat's handling. Experimenting with your seating position is recommended. Thanks to the new metal plate with a groove, this is quite easy to do. Shifting your weight forward and backward also translates well to the boat.
Our conclusion: a fantastic creeker for everyone weighing approximately 75-80 kg and above! Definitely try it out!
