Jefe Chico

So here is a little bit of who I am. I started paddling 6 years ago, I'm a lot into creeking since 2 years. I paddle mostly class IV-V in Quebec. I'm 5foot7 and I weigh 150lbs
I find thc Jefe chico very easy to turn and change direction, on the other hand, sometimes I will loose a line because it will catch in eddies or boils. But overall for a girl, it is much easier to turn than other bigger creek boats. What I like the most about this boat is the way it resurfaces after a big drop, the volume is perfectly distributed to prevent bow stall after dropping into holes, it will often float over the rapids instead of going deep.
The jefe chico has a lot of rocker, it makes it easy to learn how to boof.
Finally the new seat is very very confortable, all the different foams enabled me to have the perfect fit .. I enjoy much more the longer days on the river, and everyone else is jealous.

I hope it will help you,
I will probably see you next year at the gauley fest
