X-Boat – P&H Cetus MV
Published December 2, 2009 | 
The P&H Cetus comes in standard & low volume versions. Soon it will be available in a mid-size as well. The Cetus MV project is aimed at folks in the 160-220 lb range. Yeah, that is sort of the average guy size range. It’s certainly true that the original Cetus (see “original coke”, & “original or extra crispy”) is just fine for most average sized paddlers but for some the MV will be a bit more tuned in. You can’t complain about having options. As coaches we’re always on about boat fit, and a mid-size version will provide a better fitting Cetus for many paddlers. For some this will mean better, easier and more precise boat control than they would have had without the MV version. Personally I see lots of advantages to smaller boats as it is, especially for those of us who are not circumnavigating Africa regularly. Continue reading

Just for a change I took my P&H Scorpio down the Wisconsin river yesterday. The Scorpio as you know is the plastic version of P&H’s very cool Cetus. As it happened a couple on the trip had custom ordered 2 Cetus’ from P&H and were excited to be getting them next month. I’ve chatted and paddled with the couple a few times on Rutabaga events so they were happy to tell me all about their new kayaks and where they hoped the new boats would lead. Congratulations!

Insert the P&H Team Male Chorus Singing a Sir Mix-A-Lot Medley here.
First let’s get this out of the way… I know a few of the guys on the P&H team so I’m certainly open to bias. On the other hand keep in mind that we are often most judgmental with our own families. I’ve spent close to 3 years telling P&H Rep., Kelly Blades I didn’t like P&H boats, (By the way, remember this??) basically due to an old style Capella we once had (for less than a month) that was like riding a fishing bobber. Yeah, they told me that the new Capella is nothing like those ones from back in the day. But honestly I never had a reason to re-examine my thoughts on the matter. So when my wonderful Alaw Bach gave up the ghost, I came to the conclusion that I should let go of past bias and give the new P&H kayaks a fair go. I started out with the Bahiya and now had my chance to try the Cetus.
