Fun that you're bringing up these old boats! I loved the Lucid. That sexy hole in the bow provides structural support by making contact with the base of the boat--replacing the bow wall. Like the "funky" hole in the end, design features that use hull plastic instead of tacked-on bits improve durability. I paddled this boat in the Sierra Madre Occidental and enjoyed it for general river running including lots of waterfalls. I also weighed 50+ pounds less than Tim so it wasn't super-squirty for me but I could get the ends up in a hole and it spun like a top. It boofed better than the full volume Wildwasser Embudo which I also had with me. It is one of many boats that I wish I still had...
Glad you enjoyed the lucid and the video. It truly was a unique boat to paddle. There was definitely a lot more innovation going on in the early 2000's in playboats. Good to see the trend coming back though
Woah, what a blast from the past! I don't care if you coin terms such as "happy hole", but no mention of the pleasure pod by Perception? (shown in all its marbled minicel glory at 9:36) Take us on a tour of the 'Slice Shed' man - us old heads NEED more Slice Life! Oh, and a Savage 'V' Designs Lynx walkthrough puh-leeze! Quite the rare specimen o' slice, I tell ya hwut.
There's a Session close by me for $250 in good shape. I am 5'9, 185 and worried about getting in it? Seems like you can and you are bigger than me? Not sure if I have the same pain tolerance however...
@@joshhughes1319 I pulled out the seat and made a custom foam seat really close to the hull so I had more knee room. A session should be easy to resell for $300 or more if it doesn't fit. I would say go for it.
Are you going to do any more videos. Was looking forward to the whole series. Interested to know which full slice you'd give 10/10 for comfort? I'm a good bit taller than you though, I manage in an s8 235 or super ego
I got a little side tracked but I will put more video's out in the future. Personally I think the most comfortable full slice I have been in is the Homeslice. And it is the best overall IMO. Sadly it only comes in one size so it is great for me at 205 LB. If you are less than 175 it is going to be rather hard to engage the bow but the stern should still be plenty slicy.
