Review
I was fortunate enough to paddle the first boat in the US. I'm not small but the cockpit was a good tight fit, very secure. The hard chines made for great secondary stability, I felt more comfortable on edge than I do in my own boat (Pygmy Coho). The rather significant rocker provided a tight turning radius. With the skeg down it tracked very well. When pushing to speed, the bow wave was a little noisy, probably due to the added volume designed in to prevent diving in surf or wave troughs, a worthwhile design compromise.
Conclusion
Try it if you have the opportunity, I think you'll like it.
