Lettmann Machete Puffy 65 - key features
KayakMachete Puffy 65 stands out among other half-slice models with its uncompromising construction and unique rocker. While the standard Machete relies on an extremely flat stern for endless crimping, the Puffy version adds subtle volume in the rear, making it the "Queen of Waves" with a higher safety factor. The boat is designed to behave like a pinball in the rapids - easily flying over waves and rollers and returning to full rider control immediately upon impact. It's a boat of two faces: pure joy and playfulness on light water, and an utterly precise, stable tool in heavy terrain.
Hull, stability and surfing
Kayak hullMachete Puffy is characterized by a wide and flat bottom that extends from the tip to the stern. This geometry provides excellent stability and allows the boat to glide smoothly into the waves. It is in the waves that Machete excels - she handles spins, blunts and enders with complete confidence. Innovativerocker profile ensures that the boat emerges in an extremely controlled manner when passing through rough water or after jumps. The minimally convex stern of the Puffy version ensures that the boat remains directionally stable even in strong side currents, giving riders confidence when entering technical passages.
