    As a Wavesport Mutant owner I feel I must defend my decision to continue using this kayak. 1st ... I find it quite spacious and comfortable. Easy to boof, easy to surf , easy to spin at the stern. I am 5'8 and 200lbs . With the thigh extenders at their last setting the seating position fits me and I am able to maneuver this boat well. I have watched your video several times and can only fathom that this day on the river was terrible for you and the Mutant did not keep you from being horribly tense. My guess is OTHER things were happening as you are so over the top in your derision . Okay ... I have spoken my 2 cents. Thank you for your review regardless. As time marches onward there appear less and less people on the rivers and water by-ways that I see any more. At least you are keeping interests in Kayaking. Thanks ...

    Hi Wade, first of all i would like to thank you for all of your video's.
    There great and i love them.
    Last week i bought my first ww kayak.
    After watching your channel i decided to buy a pyranha sorch.
    However the guys at the store sold me a wavesport diesel 80 because im a beginner and it seems a solid design.
    Could you do a review on this classic? I searched for a good on review on youtube. Seems like there are zero in depth reviews.
    Greetings from Belgium

      Thanks for watching and yeah the diesel is a classic and just to note I use to work for wavesport kayaks when they were manufactured here in the USA now they are in the UK there was a guy that brought a few in the USA awhile back so the diesel is a great all round design just not many of them out there now days so doing reviews on these older designs is usually like a friend had one so I’m like oh let me borrow that for a weekend or something like that so it’s difficult to do these boats but will keep my eye out for a diesel I have a good story with that design also

    Owned one for a while back in the day & it actually tried to kill me a bunch of times. Boy was i glad when i got rid of it!
    At some point you mention it feels like a playboat and i think you hit the nail right on the head. Bear in mind that boat was designed at a time when playboats were all the rage, modern creekboat design was in its very earliest stages and creekboating itself as a style hadn't really gone mainstream yet. So it makes perfect sense that they took a bunch of ideas from playboats and hybrids (thinking of the Stubby) and tried to blend them into this crazy experimental design which turned out to be a big flop and IMO ended up delaying the onset of half slice creekers by 10 years or more. Cheers!

  • @wheresaldocanoe
    @wheresaldocanoe 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    An easily loaded stern designed to manipulate an otherwise low rocker bow is a decent idea in theory. However, in the case of the Mutant, it is quite clear that the stern grabs so much that the paddler is highly likely to lose complete control of the bow. The paddler could try to shift their weight further forward mid-load, but with such low bow rocker, that would completely defeat the purpose of the stern's design anyway. It would almost be better to just taking advantage of the boat's hull speed and punch the shit out of everything within reason. A little bit more bow rocker would go a long way, though if I were given the task of redesigning the Mutant, I would likely prefer to start from scratch.

  • @robertwatts9825
    @robertwatts9825 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    They release a boat in Small and Medium, exaggerate the weight ranges on the upper end, and then all the big dudes think its the boat's fault. WaveSport designed a boat that 100% made sense for small paddlers, and then a marketing mistake ruined it. Same thing is happening with current LL boats, and it makes it unpalatable for industry to target small paddlers.

    • @WadeHarrison
      @WadeHarrison  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      😂 i would normally agree with you but this had nothing to do with marketing
      where are all the small paddles coming out and saying how great this is over what was available at that time?
      And why do you never see anyone ever wanting this or using it on the river even at that time.
      It’s ok to have a dud from time to time.
      I have heard this same conclusion before well at this weight it’s good boat trust me I have paddled 100s of different kayaks and this is a turd at any weight paddler.
      Its not like every kayak ever made was perfect and nothing is truly bad.

    Wasn't all that bad... every hole I got stuck in I was always able to initiate the stern and cartwheel out. And that was a lot of holes 🤣

    In the ugliest boats competition you probably have to also consider the fluid bazooka, wavesport stubby, and the 2013 jackson all star haha

      If you can roll an Ammo, you can roll almost any boat. It also really loved to stay in holes, often hairy side down.
