The Funky is a breakthrough in modern creek boat design, creating perfect synergy between two basic creek boat concepts. The first: a creek boat should be impossibly easy to paddle. It should turn on a dime with no more than a flick of a paddle blade. It should boof over anything, without you having to think about it, and skip over the worst the river has to throw at you. The second: a creek kayak should hold its line through pushy water and have the length needed to clear the gaps over the largest meanest holes.
