The Remix XP
Woody is in love!
There are two sizes. A ten footer and a nine footer. The whole idea was to make a boat that folks can paddle whitewater well, but also work on the flats. It has a drop down skeg that makes the XP track super straight, and then you can flip it up out of the water and she then handles like a big whitewater boat. It also has a large storage hatch in the back and we are working on custom dry bags to pack her perfectly for overnighting. You can even get cup holders for this thing in the 24 and 12 oz. sizes.
The Drop Skeg
The 24 oz cup holder and spring loaded skeg lever! Yeah Baby
Here are a few shots from the Chattooga
The Show goes on Day 2
So if you are out there in your creek boat doing overnight stuff its like going backpacking but going out in the Remix XP is like car camping you can bring it all.
Woody and I tested her out a bunch on the Chattooga. Section 4 was never easier. Paddle the river and then flip down the skeg and cruise the lake. Awesome.

how much does it cost?
The Remix XP will retail for $979.
any chance of an 8 footer? I love the idea of the combo boat!!
No we won't be doing an 8 footer. The smaller one is 9 feet. Its really nice to have the extra speed for the flat water and it really does paddle well. I will be paddling the 10 footer just about anywhere.
Shane
Looks great, how will it go for a tall paddler 6'7"?
Bingers
is there one that can be shipped to the uk? the 9 footer?
6'7" I think you will love it.
Lots of room, comfy to paddle.
Its even not that bad to roll either.
The XP 9 is still not in production but we will be shipping them as soon as we have them. We hope to be in production in January. Wish it was sooner but it will be out as soon as we can.
Shane
will we see oe at the green race?
why is there duct tape on the hatch in one of the pics?
The Remix 100 is a lot faster so no for the race but it will be out on the Green. The green XP was a proto and didn't have a real hatch rim, it was just for show. So for paddling whitewater we taped it down so we wouldn't lose it.

Hi, How tall is Woody? He seems to fit quite comfortably and would give good frame of reference
Woody is 6'4" and around 230ish.
He fits the boat well. I love it at 6'1" 200lbs.
We are taking them on a Grand Canyon trip this winter.

I LOVE THIS BOAT! I just bought a new Remix 69, pearl with flames. I would love to have one of these. Nice job! My question is, I'm just learning to roll and was wondering if it's harder to roll? Also, I'm 6'1" 185 size 11 shoe, What size would best fit someone like me? Just curious? Michael in Bangor Maine.
Thanks for the communication you do. I can't wait to order my XP10. I am going to want sand color, Is it posible to go even a little more custom, such as get the white LL logo instead of black against the sand colored boat, for a low profile, low contrast look? If not, it still looks great with the black. I hope you can find time to post during the Grand Canyon trip. Safe travels.
Thanks,

I am not sure. Your best bet would be to call the office 828 698 5778 and talk to customer service. They will be back in the office on the 5th of January. I am not sure if they are doing that kind of special order or not.
As for the Grand Canyon I don't know if I will be able to post immediately but I will post once I am back for sure.

Hi is the 9" boat released yet and more to the point in the UK. If not any idea when. I have seen the the longer one but need something smaller for my car rooftop. What a great Kayak
I like the idea of this boat, since most of the rivers near me have long stretches of slow/flat water, mixed with shorter stretches of class 1 and 2 whitewater (plus some rivers with class 2 and 3 ww.) And I like the idea of having a boat like this to go "kayak camping" on these rivers.
But I am pretty new to whitewater kayaking... I have lots of (flatwater) canoeing experience, a decent amount of sea kayaking experience, and have now taken 2 whitewater classes and paddled 6 days on class 1-2 rivers with the occasional stretch of cl 3. I have the beginnings of a roll (i.e. I can roll 50% of the time if I go over in a setup position), so far from "bombproof".
I don't own a whitewater boat yet. With that background (and with plans to focus on running class 1-3 rivers, NO INTEREST AT ALL in class 4 or 5 or playboating), should this be my first WW boat?
It really comes down to what type of paddling you really want to do. If you plan on paddling whitewater a fair bit and making it one of your main things you do I would go with a Remix 59, 69, or 79 depending on your size. Its a better handling boat for really running whitewater and its a bit easier to roll.
If you are planning on paddling whitewater and flatwater with this boat. Or just really interested in easy whitewater while camping out of the boat, or fishing, or just getting downstream. I think the XP would be perfect.
Anyway I hope this helps
Cheers
Shane
Hey Paul
The XP 9 will be in the UK hopefully in the next month. We just got up to full production around the New Year so hopefully a container will be there in Feb.
Cheers
Shane
How's the primary and secondary stability?
The primary is good. Its a touch more stable than most river running whitewater kayaks. The secondary stability is bomber. You pretty much have to try to flip it over.
Shane
Picked my remix xp10 last week cant wait to get in the water with it :)
Nice Paul0. Let us know how it works for you. I think you are going to love it.
Shane
Hey, thanks for the review on here. After reading this and others, I decided on the remix XP 10 and could not be happier. One question I was wondering if you had the answer to...There was a small metal washer (with a rubber bottom) and a piece of cord under the seat. I think the cord is for securing the dry storage cover, but what is the washer for? Thanks for the help
Hey Micah
Yep you got it on the cord it is for the rear hatch. The rubber based washer is used under the seat bolt. It is probably an extra that was accidently left in the boat. Send us some photos of you on the water in your XP.
Take it easy.
Shane
Thanks for the info! I will definitely try to get some pics soon. One more question: other than the seals 2.2, can you recommend a skirt for the xp10? thanks for the help.
Micah
Immersion Research is making a couple skirts for the XP boat. They are making the Shock Wave and Tuff Skin skirts in XXL now which fit the XP 10. I really like the Tuff Skin skirt and I think it will work great on this boat.
Cheers

Hi
I'm a sea kayak paddler, but do paddle my whitewater boat out on the sea some times. what interests me is, the XP9 I can camp with and importantly it will fit on an airoplane, something I canot do with the sea kayak. My question is what is the boat like out on the sea?
Hey Sea Kayaker
To tell you the truth I haven't had it out in the ocean. The boat tracks well and has a nice amount of rocker to deal with the swell for sure. It obviously won't be as fast as your sea kayak but I think it will do the job well. It will definitely handle the rough water without any problems and it will carry the gear for pretty much any camping trip you want to do. A group of our friends did a 12 day self support trip on the Grand Canyon in the XPs and loved them.
Hopefully this helps
Cheers
Shane
Hi, I live in Jersey, Channel Islands and am trying to find a LiquidLogic dealer who would be able to order me a Deep Water Blue XP9 with the flame chopper stickers. Have spoken to a few and all they offer are 4/5 basic colours.
Regards
Raoul
Hey Raoul
Sorry I didn't answer this sooner. I don't believe anyone has the XP9 in chopper graphics. You can just contact your local dealer and they will order this boat for you.
Good luck.
You are gonna love it.
Shane
I had wanted sand color XP10 to play nature boy, but did I hear correctly that sand color was discontinued?
Thanks, Bryan
Yep Bryan
You are correct the Sand color has been discontinued. Sorry if that messed with your nature boy theme.
