Beskrivelse av varen
Tilstand: Godt brukt - Synlig brukt
Dette er en sjelden mulighet til å skaffe seg en legendarisk "gamechanger" innen hvittvannspadling (se omtaler i internasjonale elvepadlingsmagasiner nedenfor).
Kom med et bud. Pendler mellom Skien og Asker, så mulig å levere båt på strekningen. Har også familie i Stavanger, så kan avtale transport den veien også.
Hel, fin og solid båt som henger med på det meste også i dag. Selges uten spruttrekk eller padleåre.
Dette er hvordan musikken og padlestilen var da Frankenstein hersket på elva ved slutten av 1990-tallet og begynnelsen av Y2K:

Playak.com: Easily the best full displacement hull playboat we made. Keep in mind it's designed for old-school play moves (at which it excels) not linked cartwheels, blunts and aerials.

Conceptually, the most revolutionary boat from Wave Sport was the Frankenstein. It was the first boat designed purely so people could have more fun. Short (nine feet, nine inches) and with a low-volume stern, the Frankenstein looks fairly radical, but a wide hull and fuller volume around the cockpit make it surprisingly stable. The short length means that it turns easily and quickly, and a less pronounced rocker helps the Frankenstein track as well as longer boats. The stern sits low in the water, but soft edges keep it from being tossed too violently by currents. Aggressive beginners will quickly adjust to the up-and-down motion caused by water piling up on the stern and will eventually appreciate how it provides better control while surfing waves.
It’s Alive! The Frankenstein:
This “short” boat was recommended for rodeo, the original term for freestyle. The lowered seat gave it added stability for the shallower water.
The Wave Sport Frankenstein's legacy is its role in pioneering the modern freestyle or "freeride" whitewater kayaking culture by being one of the first boats designed purely for play and fun, not just performance. It was a radical, short boat that was surprisingly stable and easy to spin, allowing paddlers to perform tricks like cartwheels, spins, and aerial moves, and it helped shift the sport's focus from performance to fun.
Key aspects of its legacy
Shift to "freeride" culture: The Frankenstein was part of a movement to make kayaking more about having fun and less about only clean lines and high performance.
Play-focused design: It was one of the first boats designed specifically for freestyle (then called rodeo) moves, a radical concept at the time.
Intuitive and stable: Despite its radical appearance, it was surprisingly stable and easy to spin and surf, which was ideal for both learning and advanced playboating.
Iconic model: It became an iconic model that embodied the spirit of the new freestyle movement, and its design and influence helped fuel the sport's growth in the late 1990s.

Thanks again to the friend who sold me her old unwanted kayak. I'm not planning to resell my Frankenstein anytime.
