Spade Slick

Product detailed description

Spade Slick - key features

The Slick is arguably Spade's most agile boat: at 275 cm long and 69 cm wide, it offers a stable but playful platform. The high bow rocker and optimized "rocker break" make it easy to ride waves and cross the organ, while theslicey stern inspired by the Barracuda, it allows for loads and playful maneuvers in the jet stream. A total volume of around 300 l gives the boat confidence even on more challenging water. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Hull, stability and handling

Planninghull with slightly lower edges (compared to the Full House), Slick moves towards more stability on the edge and confident directional hold without losing playfulness. Thanks to the wider bow, she "stays up", pivots quickly from left to right and changes direction very willingly in technical passages; in bigger water she keeps her speed and can safely cross organs and holes. The shorter waterline promotes quick reaction to the shot and easy entry into the roll and wave. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Comfort and safety

The Outfitting Spade is robust and functional: the seat and centre pillar sit on a centre beam firmly connected to thehullem for high cockpit rigidity; the backrest is controlled by a string in the pulley/cleat and the hip braces can be finely padded. The result is sure contact with the boat and comfort even during longer paddling. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
