Get less serious. The Joker might be business up front, but at the back, it’s all party. Charge currents, send drops, and play on eddylines in your one-kayak quiver. Load the stern and turn on a sixpence, or get neutral and charge the river. Either way, this is a whole load of fun.
The Joker has the same waterline and a similar rocker profile to the Royal Flush, but with a half-slice back end. What does this give you? Race kayak speed in a play machine, that’s what.
If you’re only going to own one boat, then make it the Joker. The fully business-ready front end can carry you through even the biggest volume water, resurfacing quickly through waves and off-drops. The narrower profile and punchy front end keep you on line through waves and currents, so you can focus on what’s to come downriver.
But load the back end and it’s time to party. Whether you’re getting taily on an eddyline, spinning in a hole, or using that flat hull to get up to speed on the face of a wave, the Joker makes sure you do it with a smile on your face.
It’s not for nothing that Matze, product designer and chief tester at Spade Kayaks, has the Joker pinned as his Zambezi boat.
Spade Outfitting
We know better than most that outfitting is perhaps the most important aspect of a kayak. This interface between you and the hull is integral to your control and feedback while on the water and cannot be underestimated. Our ergonomically focused outfitting has been specially designed for long days on the water without adding excess weight to the kayak.
Key to this is the integrated seat-rail-tower combination that gives you optimal control over your setup. The thigh braces, hip pads, backrest, and seat pad have all been tried and tested to make sure they are ready for tireless days on the water. The central pillar supports the cockpit in high-pressure situations such as pins or over drops. It can also be used as a step-out pillar for safe exits in whitewater.
