Good value for not much money

About myself


About the test environment



I actually bought this boat for winter trainings in the pool,
at which it does a great job.


Review



For today's standards, it's a
bit long and the center doesn't have much volume, but then again, it's supposed to be a squirt boat.
As a result, it's pretty easy to get it vertical, but it feels like everything is a bit in slow-motion. The boat surfs pretty well too, but it has a displacement hull, so you won't get flatspins on green waves.


The plastic is definitely not of fantastic quality, but that is reflected in the price as well. Most other boats cost about double the money...


Conclusion


Overall, a really cool toy, perfect for flatwater. Plus it's probably the cheapest kayak on the market.
