Fluid Bazooka Whitewater Kayak
Describing the Bazooka inevitably feels a bit like we’re unveiling a new super-weapon. It is super-fast and amazingly manoeuvrable; stable yet very responsive; precise and forgiving. It doesn’t stop for anything unless you want it to, and it doesn’t lead you where you don’t want to be. It boofs like a fighter jet touching down and tracks like a Bounty Hunter who is broke.
Breaking is one thing the Bazooka will not do. It’s tougher than Chuck Norris’ reputation and handles rock better than the Rolling Stones with enough volume to keep you above water, so you can hear your mates cheering at how you aced that run.
So, if you want to blast through creeks like the opening scene of a Bond movie, without being shaken or stirred, haul Fluid’s Bazooka onto your shoulder, take aim and fire!
