LIKE ALWAYS THEIR CREATING NEW AND BETTER INNOVATIONS, AS WE SLEEP THEY ARE BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATIONS TO COME... .........."WOW"...WE HAVE A NEW PLAY BOAT COMING OUR WAY!........... for more updates you can check out WakaWai bliss-stick Designed by Richard Sage from Bliss-stick and shaped into Production by Matt McCrossan, along with a vast crew who have worked hard behind the scenes producing this new innovative Playboat. The Smoothy is our answer to the Specialist 6'0 that we intended on doing, but as the new boat took its shape , it ended up having a whole new meaning to what we were doing, so the new Smoothy is far from the features of the wicked little Specialist 5'9. The biggest attack was in the hull which is comparable to the Superrad 180 in width but is longer in length and with more tail rocker, the overall boat is 6'1 which lands it right smack in the middle of the Rad 180 and Rad 185 length. The nose is where the name Smoothy originates, with nice clean and simple lines. The tail has been nipped in the bud in width.... So really the whole Smoothy is like nothing we have made before, it is a playboat of its own right, and we know that its going to fit and perform to a vast range of paddler sizes, with its near 200 ltr (52 gal )capacity. The cockpit rim has been lifted to allow for thighbrace comfort and extra leg room, but this extra volume will also act as a built in Freestyle beach ball, for making the huge pops and looping moves. The New Smoothy is only being offered in its own flavour of selected colors ... what will your flavour be? ..... Apple, Bannana, Orange, Strawberry, Blueberry or Raspberry this new color range is made with a white base and the flavour is flecked in ... giving a natural looking, asceticly pleasing, ass kicking kayak.

Hey Bliss-stick Crew, Bliss-sticks Sam Sutton sent {NORM} this email...
so here in Europe, pretty sweet place paddling some sick stuff everyday, and just ran into Nils one of the mystic designers, been having fun hanging with him and a few of the German boys. In the Val Sesia Teva games Honza stomped it blowing everyone away. The mystic was doing most of it I think. I borrowed the Mac-1 for the boater cross and won every race, was sweet. Apart from this Pat Keller and I fired up the Devil Slide, check it out on samsutton,com cheers for the boat its doing a sick job looking after me.

...................................................................................
Hey guys, Beginning this year at the start of March with the epic Northern Western Australia expedition feedtherat has already set the standard for 2008 to possibly be my most exciting year of touring yet. Only days after arriving home broken and bruised from Western Australia Bliss-Stick had me repacking my bags again and setting off for New Zealand. I spent a couple of days hanging out with the boys at the factory catching up on last years stories over a few beers and boats while planning the next couple of months to come. Andy, Bliss-Sticks master molder managed to take some time out of his ridiculously busy schedule of pumping out boats for the next container to help me create my dream boat set for Europe. Made from the new stiffer and strong plastic we decided to go for one of their newest colors in the range, an extremely vibrant almost traffic cone red. We added some graphics on the bottom to help boost the boat in photographs and then did some of our own special modifications during the molding and setting process to produce a RAD 175 in a league of its own. We then finished it all off by installing the newer lighter outfitting before sending it out the door to the airport. The RAD has truly proven to be a boat designed years before its time. Originally released back in 2003 it’s now the only boat from its time that’s still competitive on the market, but in all fairness the RAD is not still the same boat it was back in 2003. Like the boat Andy made up for my Euro tour all RADs now come with the newer plastic, newer outfitting, along with the molding & setting standards that have evolved over the years to produce a boat that is still ahead of its time. Thanks to all the boys, and girls, at the Bliss-Stick factory!!! ~ Special Thanks to Andy O – the boat's sick! YAPPA'S PROFILE

THE SUPER RAD,180 PLAY BOAT

2008-02-26T13:58:00.005-05:00

The Super Rad,180 is Perfectly fitted for the mid-sized boater. This yak seems to be a big hit with alot of 100lb-140lb paddlers that enjoy tossing a kayak around. Flipping becomes as easy as 1,2,3..keen in all its ways the Rad is totally rad....

KIA ORA - JUST FOR SOME FUN

2008-02-24T20:19:00.011-05:00

Early advertising used the jingle "We all adore a Kia-Ora". Later promotions included a song by Caramba called "Fido", and the slogan "too orangey for crows"; crows are intolerant of citrus fruit [1]. The slogan was used during a scene in an episode of the British sit-com Spaced.

Sweet juice remember this!!!

The Huka Falls are a set of waterfalls on the Waikato River that drains Lake Taupo in New Zealand. The volume of water flowing through often approaches 220000 litres

THE RAD ____185 FUN,LIGHT,ANOTHER GREAT KAYAK

2008-02-24T05:56:00.006-05:00

Our first RAD creation and still the best for flying out our door. It’s hull performance is the envy of all. Now fully refurbished for 06-08. Offers comfort and performance not often found by the mid to larger sized paddler.

Length Width Volume Weight
187cm 66cm 192ltr 15kg
6' 2" 26" 51gal 34lbs

Extreme comfort, total adjustability, and solid as a rock. Re-fitted with our new seat and revolving thigh brace system. Even our classy hip pad holsters have been re-shaped just to make life that little bit sweeter.
Good outfitting should be drama free and thats just what we're providing these days.

Well secured foam pillars front and back. Drain plug is molded directly into the shell, preventing leakage and damage, and has a fitted lanyard so you don’t loose it. There's even enough room to stow your 'pele' case between your legs.

We supply pre-cut foam foot blocks for your footrest system. These provide the lightest, and best support in our boats provided you take a little time and trim them to your personal fit. It’s all you have to do… we’ve taken care of the rest.

A QUICK FILM ON THE MAC-1

2008-01-31T20:03:00.001-05:00

Here is one persons view check it out
Upside: High performance boat that can hold a line, handle nasty holes, is stable and predictable
Downside: If you can't take the speed, you may want to think twice
Rating: ^^^^^ (5 out of 5 peaks)
Ideal User: This is a great all-around boat suitable for running class IV-V+ water.

For reference, I’m 5’10” and 155lbs. Been paddling the MAC1 for a few weeks now (just bought my very own a weeks ago, so no…I’m not sponsored by Bliss Stick…only Visa) and have had it on a variety of runs. I’ve had it on low volume technical class IV-V stuff, mellow drift’n’boof waterfalls in the 15-20 ft range, tight “slot” drops, pushy steep technical gorges, and bigger drops in the 30-40 ft range with must boof or must plug scenarios. The MAC1 has performed well in all of these environments…with “perform” being the key word here. The MAC1 is a high performance creek/riverrunner.

This has to be one of the best paddling boats I've been in.
The Mystic Creeker is a very unique boat, when you demo this boat, you will see what I mean. Give your self a great day of paddling when you bomb down your local river and creek. comment:by jeff coleman

BLISS-STICK MINI-MYSTIC

2008-01-23T20:44:00.001-05:00

The Mini Myistic is a nice change to creekin here are some Spec's: Length 7 ft 6 in / 232 cm
Width 24.5 in / 62.5 cm
Height 13.5 in / 34 cm
Volume 64 gals / 240 ltrs
Kayak weight 41 lbs / 18.5 kgs
Weight Range 110 lbs - 185 lbs / 50 kgs - 85 kgs

This little version of our ever popular Mystic Creeker is going to prove to be a little ripper of a kayak for paddlers who are small to medium build , Paddlers that until now have had trouble getting a snug fit from the Mystic Creeker.

Mini Mystic is smaller in proportion in every way to the Mystic Creeker, high performance built into this compact design, the narrower hull makes the Mini Mystic high speed with effortless steering ability. The refined chimes allow this kayak to be a little more forgiving than the Mystic Creeker.

The word back from Test Pilots Honza and Ben Barlow , are the Mini Mystic simply rips, highly suited for the smaller lighter paddlers and in Bens view ultimately the best Kayak he has ever had the pleasure to paddle the Kaituna and the Wairoa with, High speed accelleration after every drop and perfect dimensions in every degree.

Bliss-stick are very proud to introduce the mini Mystic to our range of Kayaks and feel our river running and Creek boat range have come to fruition due to this model.
