Thanks for taking the time to make this I wish you’d made it a year ago and here’s why.😊I’ve only been paddling a bit less than a year and picked up a secondhand Remix 79 for my first boat. I didn’t realise how little primary stability it had until I sat in a boat with more defined edges. I have to say I struggled a little in the LL and now I’m in a more stable boat I’m in a better place and my confidence has really improved. I’ll probably keep the Remix until I’m a better paddler and come back to it in the future if that makes sense.

I have a remix 69 and I like it. Thank you for doing a review Wade.

As a relatively new kayaker I like the remix. It’s pretty good for learning to roll. Not much bad to say since a lot of the tech in the boat has since been refined into newer stuff

I really like that you go back and review some of the older boats from time to time. When's the next Shuttle Drive coming out? Maybe you'd enjoy doing an episode where you rank full slice boats like you did with the half slices.

At 140lbs I’ve had a 59 and 69. Had a lot of different boats over the years but every time I get back in a remix 69 it just feels right. I think it’s the smoothness, it’s just easy to paddle and always boosts my confidence. Being on the light side of the weight range for the 69 seems to work really well for me. Also had a couple Braaaps over the years, it’s between the original braaap and remix 69 for my favorite river running/class 3/4 creeker. Also maybe it’s because of my weight but I never have a problem boofing the remix, I paddle it a little in the back seat and it boofs on edge beautifuly for me.

I wanted to start out on a Remix but an RPM came along for $250. I upgraded to a Party Braaap for everything that I loved about the RPM but with rocker. Hopped in a friend's Remix 69 at a small whitewater park that year and felt 'invincible' but it wasn't... fun.

I started in a Remix and it served me very well for 6 years of paddling. It's smooth, predictable and easy to roll.

I've had 2 (sliced open the 1st one on a granite boulder boof and LL sent me another hull for 2/3 price. Waay more volume than 69 gallons ...set it next to a Wavesport Diesel 75 & 80 or large Burn (river runners from the same era) and it's considerably bigger. I'm 185# and did many self-support trips in it from Rogue River overnighters to Illinois river trips to Deer Creek Ca. Multi-day. Very dependable, fast and forgiving river-running design. I'm even thinking of getting a 79 for some Idaho multi-day runs this late spring/ early summer.

Good to know, nice Video 😎👍 Guess they stretched it later and created the Remix XP crossovers....

It is still a great boat. I have seen a lot of people get into kayaking in these. It makes me nostalgic for Liquid Logic boats. My mullet came out on the weekend. I am now waiting for big rain to get my Flying Squirrel out. It is also a dates design but very capable.

I had a 2012 Remix 69. The seat position made a big difference in control. It was great in big water. The knee position is kind of flat compared to newer designs.

i have a 69. it is a fast and forgiving river runner. no bueno for creeking but it did win the green race short boat title a number of times if i remember correctly. it’s a dad boat, a school boat or a club boater boat these days. the f150 of whitewater.

Ya gota try the LL flying squirrel. Its the remix hull with more rocker.

Good video, Thanks for sharing. How is this kayak in the ocean surf?

Hey, Wade. I've been in a 59 now for about a decade. I love it, as it's really all I know. I see your poinnts though on edging and rocker - seems the RMX addressed those issues without overstepping too much. I'm ready for the change over. Do you think it'll be a big difference?

I really appreciate your reviews so thought I would ask what kayak you would prefer on the GC if you are a 3+ boater...Posting it here because we thought the remix is better than our creekers for this trip and while we love the remix 69 we are (1) having a hard time ordering a second one *supply and shipping issues happening at LL currently it seems* (2) looking to see if there is a boat like the remix out there that handles boils and big water as well as the remix but with a slightly bigger bow so we can also use on our creeking runs locally. Thanks for your feedback!

I had a 79 for a long time. Overall a good boat for the time. That stern would catch me off guard every so often and try to power flip me.

Wavesport also keeps their kayak also very long in the market like the diesel

Thanks for doing the remix review. Not many out there, I have had a remix for 6 months ..class 3 Max so far.. my thoughts.. super easy to roll. Good secondary stability. If you keep the nose pointed down river it will go through most stuff. ( I find it does like to get sideways). I agree lots of water in the face. Been a good boat. Not the best surfer needs a bigger wave most of the time. The bad is I find it is not the best at aggressive ferries, tends to want to turn down river in the current, and hard to stop that once it starts. No edges are good for learning but could use just a little bit to help ferries in faster water. Question: where to next? Do you benefit from staying in the liquid logic family and get a braaap? Would that be a good next boat if you learned on a remix? Goal is boofing aggressive ferries ,small eddies. And canyon running. What is the next boat for remix learners? Thanks for the review and enjoy your video!

I remember starting out paddling owning a remix and constantly getting slashed it the face and getting annoyed lol. It’s a great beginner boat but could use a little rocker

How do you think it would handle the Ocoee? I'm looking to get my PFD this summer and I was thinking about using my Remix

I had a remix I hated not having any edges. It made it really hard to control. Great beginner boat though.

Wow, that yellow looks 💥👀

As ever grand video. I have to ask how much different is the remix 75? Do you know any taller guys (6’+) that run them? (I’m asking for all the big paddlers out there)

Could you recommend the sprayskirt cockpit size? Purchased a immersion research in large and just couldn't get it to fit. Thanks

WS Fuse 2008 to present

Hey Wade new subscriber,really like what you do.Thank You.Wade Ive been in a deisel 75 for a while,,,,lean towards 200lb at 5-9,,,,,looking at picking up a used remix would you say ,I should be in a 79,,,,not sure if i could go 69 Thank Dave t

Haven't they done a run of RPM's pretty much every year since it came out?

Do I need to come up there and loan you my Mamba 8.6 for a review? Bc I will 😎

What did your buddy think of the scorch?

I’m trying to pay attention to the review but the rocker on the scorch in the background is distracting 🔥🔥🔥

What river is this?

Like some told me many years ago. You have to paddle a Remix like you've stolen it. Otherwise it is difficult. It was (I had Remix 79) too difficult for me, cos I cannot paddle all the time like... Now I have a Mamba 8.6, I have also paddled large Machno and Wake OG, which are a lot easier kayaks for a tall fatso.
