IT'S THE BOTTOM THAT KEEPS YOU ON TOP!
Put a Ro Boat on the river, and the water forces the flexible bottom upwards. This concave channel tracks the water and concentrates friction on the Kevlar-reinforced chines.

"The stiff chines allow it to track straighter. With the flexible bottom, when you pull back against the current, the current lifts the bottom of the boat. That makes it float up on top. It makes it almost hover. You can track well, plus you can also get it to stop a lot easier."

TRACKING IS GOOD CHINE-CHINE TRACKING IS BETTER
It's almost a Zen thing. Ro's chine-to-chine tracking uses the water's own force to improve handling in any conditions. The concave space feels like you're floating on a bubble, but the sharp chines give you plenty of traction when you need it to turn.

ON THE WATER, NOT IN IT.
Sure, floating higher lets you pass over shallow, rocky stretches of the river to get to where the fish are. But with no flat, rigid surfaces in the water - and less of the boat at all - you'll get less resistance and easy rowing.
