This kayak is nimble, skips, and is forgiving. The result is a unique mix of confidence and creativity that might change how you see your river. Try it and you’ll find - Clutch performance with every stroke.

- LOTS of volume in the bow and middle means that the Clutch will easily stay on top of the water all day, every day
- Carrying Strap Attached to Bulkhead for Easier Carrying | This unique webbing loop rides just over the bulkhead, so you can hold on while portaging, adding next-level control, and taking some of the weight off of your shoulders

- Molded-in rear wall support keeps the wall in place for added confidence on challenges like big waterfalls

- The stern is wider than a Gnarvana medium to increase planing and control when pivoting, squirting, surfing, or any time the stern is engaged
