To summarise this is the best boat you could pick to run grade 4 in take to a clean 6ft surf break, learn to loop in and shred up your local play spot and have some flatwater fun. For a six foot paddler or below look no further

About Me
35 years old, 6ft and 75kgs I have been paddling since I was 10. I have been to the French Alps twice once in my Riot Disco and once in my Chronic. I am not a master playboater, haven't managed to learn to loop yet but can throw ends till the sun comes down. Paddled upto grade 5 (once upon a time) but mostly 3 and 4 and love to play the River
Pros / The Good
I've paddled many rivers in the French Alps in June 2005 when I first got the boat with good levels of snow melt and can say the boat handled it with ease,since then I've paddled it on the Upper Dart in high water which was great, many Welsh rivers and lots of surf trips. It's super fast on a wave and initiates ends really easily very responsive in a hole you can get it hopping down fast waves. You can nail pretty much any eddy that it can fit in on even the more difficult rapids and precisely. It's super stable front and rear (unless you don't want it to be!) punches through holes really well and can certainly smash loads more moves than I'm capable of! I have seen a Chronic being flatwater looped which is most impressive
Cons / The Bad
I really don't want to give this boat up after owning and loving it for 14 years but my feet are size 10.5 and I won't lie it is am issue after a while in the boat, I'm not talking ten minutes but spending the day in it has its difficulties.
