Jefe Chico

The Jefe Chico series is now discontinued.

Back by popular demand! The Jefe Chico!

When we originally designed the Jefe Series we brought together dozens of paddling icons and underdogs with thousands of miles of Class V experience to conceptualize, design and test the Jefe Grande. Developed to make creeking more fun and safe by providing maximum confidence to paddlers of all skill levels, this design was finalized after trips worldwide and daily poundings on our backyard Green River Narrows. When it came time to finalize the design of the Chico we talked with instructors and parents, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews and smaller paddlers about what they wanted, and what was missing in creek boats. From those discussions we are excited to offer our Chico sized friends a killer creek boat. The Jefe Chico was designed with any smaller paddler in mind who’s looking to boof, bounce and slide his or her way down the local creek. With a classic, narrow full displacement hull, it’s ample volume, super-friendly bow and world-class safety features, the Chico will undeniably protect and inspire whitewater junkies the world over.

How do the Jefe Grande and Chico compare to the Stomper and Flying Squirrel?

The Jefe Grande and Chico are performance creeking machines, built to be quick and smooth from edge to edge. The classic, narrow full displacement hull bounces over and through features, boofs off rocks without catching an edge to keep you balanced and makes running waterfalls and hitting holes feel incredibly soft and smooth. The nimble design is very much at home on tight, technical waters as it is on steep pushie water. The Flying Squirrel is all about speed and volume. Its flatter hull with rounded edges allows the Squirrel to quickly skip out at the bottom of drops, has a ton of volume to punch holes and to push through rapids. Based off the race-winning Remix series, the Squirrel is designed to provide a fast, hard charger feel. At the same length of the Grande, the Stomper is differentiated by its hull shape. With a flat bottom, semi-planing hull with chamfered edges, the Stomper is very stable, easy to roll, spins on a dime, and is a no-brainer boofing and creeking machine.
