Soul Waterman TriXter: An uncompromising full-slice playboat for endless days of freestyle
TriXter: The perfect blend of old-school slice and modern pop
The TriXter is neither a river runner nor a versatile crossover. It’s a purebred freestyle machine built on the concept of “all trix, all day.” Legendary Canadian designer Corran Addison has drawn on decades of experience in playboat development to create a kayak that takes the best of both the past and the present. The midsection of the boat offers plenty of volume (approx. 243 L) to safely lift you into the air during dynamic maneuvers, while the significantly tapered bow and stern (slicks) glide through the water with almost no resistance.
Hull and Hydrodynamics: A Fast Bottom and Tips That Cut Through the Water on Their Own
At the heart of the TriXter model is an extremely open, flat bottom (planing hull). Thanks to this, the boat turns on the waves with absolute ease and without any unwanted scraping.
- Tapered Ends (Slicks): The bow and stern have radically reduced volume. This gives you perfect control in vertical positions, whether you're doing cartwheels on calm water or carving into a wave.
- Rocker and edges: The pronounced nose rise (approx. 26 cm) prevents the board from accidentally “digging in” during takeoffs, and the sharp yet forgiving edges (tucked rails) will guide you smoothly from one trick to the next.
Outfitting: The “Mega Comfy” System for Precise Control
When it comes to playboats, you need to be literally one with the boat. Soul Waterman equips the TriXter with a premium, anatomically designed "Mega Comfy" seat:
- Seat: It's well-padded and easy to adjust without tools. You can quickly move it forward or backward to achieve the ideal trim for the boat (center of gravity balance).
- Backrest and thigh support: The firm yet comfortable backrest keeps your pelvis at the correct angle, while the aggressively contoured thigh supports ensure that your movements are directly transferred to the hull. This is absolutely crucial for rotations and carving.
Appropriate Activities and Use in Whitewater
Soul TriXter is a specialized tool:
- Playspot Freestyle: The perfect board for barrels and static waves, where you can take full advantage of its ability to cut through the water and perform air tricks.
- Flatwater / Pool Sessions: Thanks to its short length (210 cm) and flat tips, the TriXter is perfect for practicing technique, whether on calm water or in a pool during the winter.
- A Fun Paddle Down a Local River: If you know every rock and eddy on your favorite WW II-III river, TriXter will turn it into an endless amusement park.
About the brand Soul Waterman
The Soul Waterman brand was founded by former Olympian and legendary designer Corran Addison. It focuses on “boutique” kayak production with an innovative approach, premium design, and unique character. The TriXter builds on the iconic freestyle models from Corran’s past and puts a tool in paddlers’ hands that stands out from the crowd of mass-produced kayaks—both in shape and philosophy.
Caring for a Polyethylene Shell
The kayak is made of tough rotomolded polyethylene (typically materials such as Hilex 14 or Superlinear), which ensures the rigidity needed for precise force transmission. To ensure the shell’s maximum lifespan, we recommend storing the kayak in a dry place out of direct sunlight and away from UV rays after the season ends. After paddling in very dirty or sand-laden water, rinse the sliding parts of the seat with fresh water.

Expert advice: The transition to a full-slice playboat like the TriXter can be quite a “circus” at first for paddlers accustomed to modern, voluminous “creek boats” or “half-slice” boats. The boat will teach you that the edges are there to be used precisely, and that leaning back means immediately going into a handstand. Don’t try to force the boat with brute strength. If you use the correct body tilt (edging), the TriXter turns underwater with incredible ease. Once you understand the rhythm of this boat, you’ll gain stability and lightness on the waves that you could only dream of with a bulkier boat!
