Liquidlogic Remix XP 10 & 9!
I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to go with the Remix XP 10. It can be loaded down with so much gear I felt like I was camping with a raft setup. I could have even packed another 2-3 days more of gear with the extra space left over inside the hatch. When it comes to handling and performance the boat works great for most situations.
Personally I have not taken it on something harder than class 3+ but know it could work just as well for Class 4 rapids (depending on your skill level!). The skeg idea seemed funny to me before I was able to use the boat, but once I got it on the water I realized how nice it was to have. Overall, my experience with the boat has been enough to push me to get one here in the future.
My girlfriend, Christina Russell, ended up paddling the XP 9. She is a small person (100 Pounds) and she was worried if the boat would work for her. We packed both boats full of gear which added to the overall weight significantly. After a few rapids she realized it still worked great even though it was such a large boat. It handled perfectly and she was able to paddle it easily through every rapid, even with the extra large size/weight. If you are looking for an all around boat that can be used for anything (even self support multi-days), the Liquidlogic Remix XP 9 and 10 are the perfect boat.
For people looking into this kayak and want a basic description I would say; “the Liquidlogic Remix XP 9 and 10 are whitewater kayaks with a hint of recreation to them.” (They are great for both whitewater and recreation paddling!)
