The Ethos Ten is ideal for paddling a mixture of waters and is suited for the medium to large paddler.
Given a chance, we'd paddle whitewater every day. But life doesn't always throw us what we want. That's why we've designed the Ethos - to take you from one adrenaline-fuelled adventure to the next. Conquer a rapid, ride a wave train and cruise on down the river in search of more. When you need to cover some ground, carry all the kit and still have fun, why compromise?
The ultimate crossover platform with more whitewater performance attributes than other designs in its category. The Ethos is fitted with our full whitewater footbrace system and has a whitewater focused rocker profile and progressive chines that bring outstanding speed and control. Uncompromised comfort on long river days or multi-day treks is made possible with our roomy cockpit and sizeable gear storage space.
The Ethos is a stable, forgiving, performance-minded crossover platform that also offers a confidence-building introduction to paddling whitewater. The hull is manoeuvrable in rapids, yet tracks well on flat water with the help of a drop down skeg system. Offering outstanding comfort on long, multi-day river treks due to the roomy cockpit, sizeable gear-storage space and our signature WhiteOut Outfitting.
Take the Ethos with you on your adventures to those harder to reach locations. This crossover kayak has it all to offer both on and off the water - light and easy enough to carry, but put it on the water and drop the skeg and you'll soon be cruising at speed.
Skeg up! Skeg down! Change your mind as often as the water dictates - The easy to reach cleat allows you to drop the spring loaded skeg and up the tracking performance of the Ethos kayak. Pull on the control cord once more and the whitewater inspired hull delivers the maneuverability and responsiveness needed to tackle some rapids or catch a wave!
For longer trips on the river, load up the spacious rear hatch with all the gear you need. It could be a night away under the stars or an indulgent picnic... the space is yours, so pack what you like!
The Ethos Ten and Ethos Nine are a pair of performance crossover kayaks with a hull rocker that increases manoeuvrability making them especially suited for whitewater adventure. Their stable and forgiving nature ensures paddlers looking for an introduction to whitewater are equally covered.
At only a slightly reduced length, the Ethos Nine punches the same impressive combination of manoeuvrability, acceleration, speed, and handing that the Ethos Ten displays. However, the notable difference in the Ethos Nine version is with the cockpit area and a reduced height around the knees - this gives better contact and control for the small to medium sized paddler.
