Liquidlogic Remix 79: A fast and forgiving river runner for big guys and long expeditions
Remix 79: Speed and Displacement Without Compromise
The Remix 79 is designed for paddlers who need a boat with a large displacement (nearly 300 liters) but don’t want to put up with the sluggishness and slowness of traditional giant creek boats. It builds on the concept of the good old “long boats” but adds a modern volume distribution. The result is a kayak that accelerates brilliantly, holds its course perfectly on calmer stretches, and at the same time provides enough buoyancy to make you feel safe even in big waves and rollers.
Hull and Hydrodynamics: The Magic of a Rounded Bottom
The shape of the bottom is key to the Remix and sets it apart from most of today's production:
- Displacement Hull (rounded bottom): Unlike modern boats with aggressive, sharp edges and a flat bottom, the Remix features a rounded profile. This allows water to flow smoothly around the hull. The boat is forgiving of minor errors in trim, and crossing currents won’t pull you off course unexpectedly.
- Speed and Slip: The longer, narrower hull ensures that navigating through dead spots and long stretches of calm water is a breeze. The Remix easily cuts through the interface between currents thanks to its kinetic energy.
- Eskimo rolls and glides: Its narrow profile, smooth sides, and lowered stern make the Remix one of the easiest kayaks to perform an Eskimo roll on the market. Furthermore, the absence of sharp edges means that the kayak doesn’t get stuck in shallow sections but glides elegantly over rocks.
BadAss Outfitting: The Best Chair on the River
The name “BadAss” says it all. The American company Liquidlogic is renowned for equipping its boats with the most comfortable interior system on the market:
- Seat: The thickly padded, quick-drying, and breathable foam absorbs vibrations.
- Foot and thigh rests: Fully adjustable, providing firm support. The contact with the boat is absolutely precise.
- Backrest: Easily adjustable for ideal lumbar support and safe power transfer during strokes.
Appropriate Activities and Use in Whitewater
The Liquidlogic Remix 79 is a completely reliable all-rounder:
- River Running (WW II–IV): It will take you safely, quickly, and comfortably along classic rivers.
- Multi-day expeditions (self-supported): Thanks to its enormous 299-liter capacity, you can easily pack a sleeping bag, food, and a stove for several days into the kayak.
- Instruction and Technique Improvement: For beginner paddlers who are on the heavier side, this is a boat that will instantly boost their confidence and help them overcome their fear of currents.
About Liquidlogic

Caring for a Polyethylene Shell
The kayak is made of premium high-density polyethylene. To maximize its lifespan and preserve its vibrant colors, store it away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and UV rays. After paddling in very dirty or sandy water, rinse the sliding parts of the backrests and the cables with clean fresh water. Check the tightness of the outfitting screws regularly.

Expert advice: The Remix 79 is a fast boat—and momentum is your best friend! Especially for larger and heavier riders, you don’t have to fight every wave. Get the boat moving, and thanks to its speed, you’ll literally “cut through” the break and the waves. If you’re switching from modern boats with extremely flat bottoms (planing hulls), the rounded nature of the bottom may surprise you at first. You don’t need to approach eddies with an aggressively cut edge; a gentle, smooth tilt is enough, and the boat will glide into the eddy elegantly and without any jerking. And on the shallower Czech rivers, you’ll appreciate that amazing feeling when the Remix simply glides over the rocks without the edge stopping you!
