Excellent play creeker and coaching kayak

About the reviewer Have been paddling up to Scottish grade 4 rivers. Test environment pretty high water in river Findhorn, going down grade 4 rapids. Review The sniper holds up nice bouncing over waves nicely instead of punching through them. Thats due to the high volume and the stubby front. The sniper is a fairly short creek boat. Due to that it is a bit twitch at ties especially going through bigger stoppers. The right paddle stroke is quite essential when going through them or otherwise you might just tun on the spot. Your roll would have to be quite slow as the flattish hull. You can almost feel how the kayak pops into place at the last stage of a roll. Conclusion Very good creeker with a playful edge to it. The hatch is a great idea. I can easily put all the bits and bobs in there and never to worry that some of these will float down the river accidentally. The only thing i found is that the hatch leaks somewhere so I need to put some dry bags into the bulkhead...
