The ideal creeker for Irish rivers.

Named after the Huka Falls in New Zealand, this boat lives up to its name. It has a generous rocker bow and stern but the middle section has a planing area that does not compromise speed. It boofs, crashes holes, resurfaces quickly, holds a line but turns quickly when needed, making it the ideal creeker for Irish rivers.

A solid yet adjustable Bulkhead form a strong bracing point and extra closed cell foam has been added on the footplates for maximum comfort and safety.

The Huka is an easy boat to roll but just in case the large cockpit allows for a fast exit.

Tall is OK but it's weight range Colm means. If your over 12.5 stone this one is probably not for you, well if it's creeking you want it for. Nice boat though classic creeker design.

Would be a good starter boat too. 

 

 

 

Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

(Thanks Bren.)

When I mentioned medium I was referring to the weight of the paddler rather than the height or the ability to communicate with the spirits of dead people.

I weigh about 77kg and it floats very well for me but I’d say the upper limit might be 85kg.

There’s plenty of room in the front of the boat so if you’re a medium sized gangly person then the Huka will suit you.
