Description

The original Diesel 65 and 75 defined the term ‘river runner‘ when they were released back in 2005. The designs were so solid that Team Wave Sport and countless others used the Diesels as their go-to big water AND creekers for years. Their combination of forgiveness, maneuverability, and bomber outfitting made choosing the Diesel a no-brainer, no matter what river you were putting on. For the ‘09 season the design team at Wave Sport decided it was time for an evolution of the ‘SUV’ of kayaks. We went out to improve every single aspect of the Diesel, and even added a size to the series. The peaked bow and stern deck helps to create smooth and predictable resurfacing. There are 3 versions of the Diesel for 2009. The 60, 70 and 80(gallons). The 70 (most popular size) is the first version to be released, and is available now! The 60 will be for sale by mid-December, and the 80 in late December. The 2009 Diesel is faster this year. How did WaveSport make it faster? With a new rocker profile and increased flared sidewalls in the bow and stern. How did they make it more maneuverable? By eliminating the section of the rocker break that hindered quick turning. This also gave us the only loose river runner on a green wave! How did Robert Peerson and the Team make it stay on the surface in huge rapids? We peaked the deck in the bow and stern just enough to resurface predictably and smoothly. The Diesel now has 3 sizes to choose from in 60, 70, & 80 gallon versions. The new aluminum-base thigh hooks are more adjustable and will allow the even the tallest of boaters to have a perfect fit with a higher knee area. SPECS ARE NOT FINAL...but here is what we know today...
