Remix XP10

After completing the two day RJ1 class with currentadventures on the south fork of the American River I learned a few things about the XP10. It's stable and did not flip as many times as the pyranha kayaks; but it will flip, and when it does it us more difficult to upright than the more nimble pyranha's. For this reason, I'm thinking it's not a good choice for class II rapids. You absolutely must have the talent, and the kayak, to quickly roll upright when swept rapidly downstream upside down with your helment bumping rocks. Otherwise, you must escape the cockpit, pop the spray skirt and swim ashore; meanwhile your kayak and paddle are going downstream. Therefore, the lesson learned is straightforward: "Go lake kayaking in a lake kayak, go river running in a white water kayak. " A crossover does neither very well.

My favorite boat, used it on the Atlantic, Great Lakes, rivers and creeks, tracks great and very comfortable, with a fair bit of storage room

This kayak is very stable, and tracks reasonably well for a crossover type design. The interior fits more like a whitewater boat than I expected. It is roomy, just more of a river boat with flat tracking when needed than a true crossover design that does both well. I like the boat, but it does not fit my intended use. I wish I had done a bit more up front research on the boat

FIRST time to EVER use a Kayak (and going down any river), in my local Canadian Rocky Mountain backyard! Will NOT ever buy another one...(unless I win one) ;)

After paddling other cross over kayaks I tried out a friend's xp 10, instantly noticed how much more comfortable and stable I was in it compared to my fusion. I purchased mine three yrs ago and love it, my to go boat. Confidence inspiring in the largest of water. Used in regularly on the New River in WV to make the flat's in between rapids bearable. I am paddling 9' ww canoes these days but my xp still gets used regularly. I recommend it to anyone wanting to paddle a broad range of waters.

I have bought 3 of these boats in the past several years for my wife and i They are just a all around good boat. Great for lakes,slower river. And I have had it in solid 3+ WW. My only complaint is the foot pedals. When your rolling or getting aggressive they seem to pop out of the tracks. I believe will have to purchase some heavier duty ones. Other than that they are the bomb for a all around boat.

My wife and I stopped by the Factory Store and were given a warm welcome by the LL crew before heading into the showroom to learn about kayaks. The staff member spent time learning about what type of paddling we wanted to do and then showed us a couple of boats. We decided on the Remix XP 10 due to its flexibility in moving from calm to more rugged waters. After seeing the kayaks up close we went online and made our purchase in just a few minutes. Pick up from the warehouse was very easy and they even helped load them in my car.

Does the remix xp10 have any kind of foot shock system when whitewatering

First time in white water, couldn't have been better. Very stable and easy to maneuver. I have enjoyed using it in flat water as well, good exercise without the skeg. Thank you for a very enjoyable experience!

I bought my Remix used about two years ago. I had never paddled much before buying this boat and I think it was perfect for that reason. I started off on some flat water slowly progressing into whitewater and from there I couldn't get enough, every time I passed a river id have to check it out. love the boat and how well it maneuvers, rolls, and even surfs a little. The only reason this is 4/5 stars for me is the fact that the dry well actually gets water in it. Its a pain to get that water out too, seeing that there is no drain plug back there. If we added a drain plug it would be 10/5.

My wife and I each bought Remix XPs. I have the XP10 and she has the XP9. Great quality boats. Use them on flat water and white water. They are perfect for what we do. Skeg is a great feature. We picked them up at the LL factory. Smooth transaction and very helpful people.

I've owned my XP10 for 5 seasons now, being a Minnesota Resident I've paddled it in all conditions in all environments and have never been let down by the boats capabilities- ever! If I had to choose only one kayak to do everything the xp10 would be my only consideration. I'm 6'5" (mostly all legs) and kayaks just don't get anymore comfortable, or stable. Initial stability is unsurpassed, you can truly stand up and piss out of it without capsizing. Really nice for all day adventures.

Its an very well designed boat, My only criticism is that the cockpit is a little to large and the foot braces seem a bit small and fragile. But that being said It was no problem to outfit and it handles great.

Easy ride, looks awesome, love the XP 10 so far! Received my order in Indiana in 48 hours! I watched as many videos I could find, but being a a novice would have liked to have more information on set up, accessories, etc. However, I was able to stop by the store on my way to SC and was graciously helped out by employee (Coby?) with all my repetitive questioning. ;) Thank you!

After deciding to start into the world of kayaking, I did a ton of research. What is a good boat for rivers, but also decent on flat water? I wanted something I could comfortably sit a day trip in and have enough space to pack food and supplies but have it stay dry in case my inexperience caused some upside down travel. After looking over different brands, different crossovers, and trying different models, I settled on the Remix XP10. Having been out on the lake with my wife in a touring boat and with friends on various local rivers, I couldn't be happier with my decision. The Bad Ass Outfitting is very comfortable for long trips and easy to adjust. There's plenty of room for any gear I need. As a beginner, stability is a big factor, and I feel very comfortable as I learn to navigate and develop my skills. I often find myself the sole person upright in my group of paddlers after going down various rapids. Several of the group have tried it out and have all commented on the comfort and ease of use. It handles well on the stretches of flat water for slower rivers and the skeg makes a huge difference for helping us new folks stay tracking straight. We picked mine up at the factory. While we missed the Friday tour, the staff was amazingly friendly and knowledgeable about any questions. If you're close enough, go pick it up and meet the LiquidLogic crew. A+ kayak and A+ company. If they ever make a boat styled more to touring, they'll have all my business, gladly.

The LiquidLogic Remix XP10 is a very well made kayak that has exceeded my expectations. Handles great and the outfitting is top notch. Couldn't be happier. Ben in customer service made the whole process flow smoothly when I had a special request.

Great stability and tracking. First trip on the water was down a fast moving large creek. 3 of us went and I was the only one not to go in the water. The drop down skeg is a perfect design. I am a bigger guy 6' 240lbs and I think I may invest in the higher seat back. Also a spray skirt. Aside from that I am completely satisfied.

I love my XP10, other kayak's can't compare. This is a great boat for bigger people and at 285 lbs, it's hard to find a good quality boat to support me. Easy to maneuver and roll, this is a great kayak period.

It's a better big water boat than creeker. Slow in the flats and on lakes it only gets slower when loaded for an overnighter. That bein' said it's still faster than most whitewater playboats. I feel its a better whitewater boat than tourer because of its lack of speed. I broke 1/2 the rudder off shoving the boat in the back of a pick up with the rudder in the down position. No worries, it still works the same. Sometimes I'll drop the rudder down when I'm surfin a hole or wave just cause I can. I do think it helps hold you straight on the features.

I like the big cockpit for climbing in and out of the boat. I use a xxxl sized (deck) skirt on it and still have to wet the skirt to get it on. The seat is nice and comfy for long paddles but the boat lacks back support. It doesn't promote an upright position for paddling whitewater, its kind of hard to sit real upright in the boat for extended periods of time. Lots of foot room, and the boat is really easy to wet exit out of.

Where the deck is high, only my knees get locked in(not my thighs) so its harder roll and puts some strain on my knees. Also the seat is wide even for me, and I weigh 220 lbs. Again this makes it harder to roll because my hips aren't locked in. The boat itself is wide so its also harder to set up to roll, having to really reach around the sides of the boat. However I think the hull shape is fine for rolling but because of the way its set up I struggle with it a bit. I have a much easier time rolling a shorter ww play boat. But like I said before this is "boating for dummies" and odds are you aren't going to flip to begin with.

The hatch leaks and I carry a cup or a sponge in it. I have to pry the lid off with a flathead screwdriver once the hatch gets wet. I carry the screwdriver in a nalgene bottle behind the seat. The drainplug works but you can never quite get all the water out of the boat with it. The boat is heavy, so i drag it a lot.

It's being marketed as a "crossover" but the Remix xp10 is a solid whitewater performer with the capacity to carry gear. It's a really "forgiving" boat that's right at home on big water. It you're wanting a solid whitewater performer that has carrying capacity and you're willing to give up speed in the flats then this is the boat for you.

Some of the ocean paddling was in three to four foot waves although the of my padding is in moderate conditions and I tend to use the kayak for lakes and the ocean rather than rivers so far, however, it is nice to have the option when the opportunity comes along. I plan more river runs but this does take a bit more planning for shuttles etc. I see that class 2-3 is commonly mentioned for the Remix and even class 4, however the latter class water was not in my plans and was not part of my decision to purchase.

I am pleased with the handling of this little boat as well as the room for gear provided by the back compartment, either for a day trip or an overnighter. to be honest there was a lot of different review for different boats and there was a Dagger supplier not far from me but I decided to go online and buy from a supplier in the US as, Liquid Logic wasn't available where I live.

I am 6'1" and 210lbs and over 50 years old and where the kayak is not a speed demon, I have no problem paddling in the 4-5km/hr range for extended periods. For speeds over 5km, you will burn some extra calories to get there and you will be creating a pretty good wake on still waters.

I boat is fairly comfortable for extended periods with the Badass outfitting. One three day weekend last summer, I covered 80km in the Remix which was all lake and ocean paddling. As mentioned in previous posts, the rear compartment isn't always water tight and could be improved upon.I didn't find this to be a big problem and knew about it before my purchase.

Another plus for me was that the boat is easy to transport and store. Overall I find the boat to fit into my intended usage very well.

Before purchasing, I compared this boat to the Dagger Approach, Pyranha Fusion and the Jackson All Water and Rogue. I've owned a Prijon Yukon but that's much longer and a different animal. In my opinion, the XP 10 was the best of the lot.

It handles the frothy stuff reasonably well although I'd prefer more rocker, harder chines and lower thigh braces. I do understand that the target market is a more casual paddler. The rear compartment should be more watertight and I'd like to see the bulkhead moved forward for greater stowage and more built-in floatation.

It ferries and draws okay, but carve and spin are moderate. Surfing is just adequate. It rolls pretty easily for a wide boat. Flatwater is about what you'd expect from a wide 10' boat. That is to say, a chore. Having whitewater boats in the stable, I can paddle straight without the skeg and don't want the drag.

Liquidlogic excels in quality molding and this boat is no exception. The outfitting is way comfortable and adjustable. My biggest gripe would be the cavernous cockpit opening. I prefer more solid structure and it also creates a skirt issue. In addition to more flexible surface, it's hard to find a skirt that will fit it and is all neoprene. You can order one from Seals. Their site recommends the 2.2 size but I found this to not mate up well. I later saw that many outfitters recommend the 2.5. IR's is probably a better alternative and adds a knee strap.

No one should expect the implied panacea of a kayak that excels at all kinds of water. But, if you have the need of something that falls within the applicable niche, this would be a good choice to test out.

However the dry bulkhead is another story, its not really dry, more like drippy. I have had over a liter of water in the dry compartment and discovered that the bulkhead leaks if you get any water in the boat. so a skirt (even in hot weather) is a must.

All in all, I would not trade my boat for all the tea in china. What a hoot!!!

My issues with the boat stem from how LL designed the boat based on it's whitewater lineage.
1) The boat tracks straight in calm water with the skeg down. However, you'll be pushing a lot of water as you move along. This is the result of a blunt shaped bow. A more angled bow would alleviate this, but you would loose some whitewater prowess. It's a conundrum, and I agree with LL to go with the current design. Still, when I get moving on flat water, I kick up a wake and fellow paddlers can hear me coming.
2) My biggest problem has to deal with the intended purpose of the boat and it's effect spray-skirts. Without a whitewater sealed skirt, the gunwales take in a lot of water, especially ferrying across rapids. Do this too long, take in too much water and the boat become sluggish or sinks.

However, if you are using the boat recreationally to tool around the river on a hot summer's day, being enclosed in a black sprayskirt becomes VERY hot and uncomfortable. Also, being that the boat is larger, it becomes more difficult to roll. If you are a beginner, or are not physically adept to rolling - this is an issue.

The other boats in this class - Pyranha and Dagger - don't have this problem (low gunwales) to this extent. Then again, they are not as good (in quality and performance) as the Remix. The ideal solution would be to have an "open river skirt" that compensates for the low gunwales, but is open on top for easy entry and exit, and is cool enough for hot days.

I'm about 6'4" 230 with 36waist. Had to take the hips in 2inches on both sides. The cockpits so big if you hit your head on a rock hard enough (upside down) you can get yanked out. Rolling is easy unless your form is sloppy. Have got this boat pinned and bent in half(don't kayak tired...duh). Kicked it out with only slight visual evidence remaining. Have done class III+ with no problems. As a river runner This boat murders whitewater. As long as the paddles in the water the boat will do the rest.

Great beginner boat due to stability. The size also forces a newbie to learn proper rolling and turning. Will be getting a creek boat for the rock gardens and surfing holes.

As far as quality goes there are few that match up the design is pure art and the craftsmanship is flawless Liquidlogic really stands out with a boat like this! No I do not work for them, but do work for a sporting company that sells 7 different brands of kayaks. I have paddled a lot of different boats and the Remix XP10 gets a 10 in it's class!
