Liquid Logic Jefe Review with Fred Norquist
The Jefe has been one of the best creek boats on the market for a while now. It's overall performance on different types of creeks make it a great creek boat. I’ve been paddling the Jefe series for three years now, and I love the way the boat performs in all situations.
Here is a sweet little video of the Jefe going big in California with Demshitz on the South Branch of the Feather:

Pros:
- Boofs really well
- Has plenty of rocker for all that Colorado mank
- Resurfaces fast
- Best outfitting in the industry
Cons:
- The lack of edges makes it more difficult to track
- Heavy compared to a lot of other creek boats on the market
The Verdict:
The Jefe is a sick creek boat that will help you navigate the gnar, whether it’s your backyard creek or a high sierra multi-day expedition.
