The Liquidlogic Biscuit: Prototype Number One

So the word is out. The Biscuit Protos are fresh. Marlow Long took a bite out of the first ones out of the oven. Here are some photos and video at Skook.

I finished the second protos for the Outdoor Retail Show and now I finally have a chance to get away from the shop for a bit of testing. Yonton, my old buddy Beaz, and Justin are all headed up to the Ottawa for some fun. The levels are off for the big Ottawa waves but the play should be decent, and word has it that High Tension is coming in soon. So it should be a good test of more normal playspots, and a good wave. I will post more as we go.

Cheers
Shane

Quick question about colors- Is the green color that yall used to have a couple of years ago (more of a "lime" color and like the color that Marlows in the biscuit n above pics)- is it back as LT GREEN on the LL website? And is the OLIVE color on the site the "moss green" color from 08 ? I really like the "lime" color of yesterday. Also I'm really diggin the Firebrick color too. I know its easier said than done and yall are really busy with the sweet ass new boats but it'd be awesome if a person could click on the boat, then color, and even with or w/out graphics. Kinda "see" what their boat would look like. I think itll help showcase some of these new colors. I cant wait to try out the final proto of the Biscuit and I'm diggin the Remix XP 10. Cant wait to try them both out! Keep up the good work and thanks for keepin it real !!! Ya'll are the best.

Thanks for the comments I think its a good idea and you hit the nail on the head the I.T. crew is maxed out right now but hopefully we can get the colors to show up on the boat.

The webpage has the right colors. The green is the Lt. Green on the webpage. Marlows boat was built using old plastic. We won't be selling the Lime Green. The Firebrick is awesome and I actually am paddling a Firebrick Red Remix right now. I paddled it in the Green Race. Its very visible in whitewater but not a loud 80s neon its cool.

The XP 9 and 10 are great. It paddes well in whitewater and you can carry a ton of stuff for fun overnight and day trip style paddling.
Again thanks for the comments.

Thanks! Awesome! Lookin forward to tryin em out and thanks for answering the green color confusion questions. Oh...one more....have ya been gettin alotta requests to make the Remix 100's. I know a bunch of boaters including myself that'd buy em. Maybe jus do a small run of them? Pretty please. :)

We have had a bunch of folks asking about the 100. Its something we ask ourselves most days. We can't really do a limited run. We used a prototype mold to make the boats that we have and that mold only lasted a short time. The cost of producing another is expensive. But it is something we want to do its just figuring out how to make it work for us. Maybe someday.

hi i'm wondering if i would be able to fit into the small biscuit, i have a 34-35 inseam but only weigh 145 pounds would i be better suited for the medium or small

Shane Benedict said...

I think that you should try both but I think you will be more comfortable in the medium, but you never know. Give it a try.
