Specifications

Length:  13’

Width:  29”

Depth:  10”

Weight & Cost:

   Glass - 26 lbs - $849

   Kevlar - 18 lbs - $1,249

   Carbon - 13 lbs - $1,649

Color:  see Color Chart

   page for selections.  We

   do not use gelcoat.

   While gelcoat does

   provide good color and

   some protection from

   scratching, we believe

   the added weight is not

   worth the slight increase

   in protection.  We

   pigment the resin which

   carries the color

   completely through the

   laminate and offers

   excellent UV protection.

Gunnels: nothing looks or

   feels as good as wood.

   Native cherry or ash are

   available at no additional

   charge.  If you’re looking

   for something exotic or

   outrageous just give us a

   yell -- Zebra wood, you

   name it.

Seating:  standard seating

   is a foam pad from

   gunnel to gunnel under

   the butt area.  A Surf-to-

   Summit KOF 301 foam

   seat and backrest is

   installed on top of the

   base foam.  It’s quite

   comfortable even for a

   few hours at a stretch.

   Check out the Options

   page for additional

   seating choices.

Flotation:  the Ripple 13’

   is produced without

   flotation.  The kevlar and

   carbon boats will float if

   swamped but they will

   not support bodies or

   gear -- the glass boat

   will not float if swamped.

   The boat is produced

   without flotation because

   so many paddlers wish

   to use triangular dry

   bags which will not fit

   well with flotation

   chambers at the ends.

   Flotation is available (and

   recommended) as shown

   on the Options page.

Footrests: adjustable

   footrests are standard on

   all Ripple models.

Ripple 13’

The mold for the Ripple 13’ is currently under construction.  Boats are expected to be available by September of 2013.

The hull is a shallow V that exhibits excellent initial and final stability.  The Ripple 13’ is actually a Wee Lassie that has been lengthened by 2’6” and made 2” wider.  It paddles and glides with little effort . . . quiet, precise in tracking, maneuverable, seaworthy and capable of carrying significant loads.

The Ripple 13’ is a boat that you’ll want to paddle for the shear pleasure of skimming across the water without a ripple . . . or in a Ripple . . . whatever . . .
