kojak Offline Expert Boarder Posts: 58	Hi Alan, I would say that it depends on what kind of paddling you are planning on doing. Is it one day trips or expedition-multi-day kind of paddling? I myself like to be in the lower end of the weight range, but we´re all different, right

alan1990 Offline Junior Boarder Posts: 6	Hi, thank you for your answer. Well I'm only going to be doing one day trips probably. I've tested the small Habitat and I like it very much. I'm just not sure if it's big enough for me. I'm a little worried that the big Habitat is going to be much harder to maneuver around. I would test it, but they only have the small one at our local store.

isaacinator Offline Junior Boarder Posts: 10 Thank you received: 1	i am about 65-70 kg, but i paddle the Habitat 80, it does lose a little bit of maneuverability, but for speed, tracking, boofing and general downriver paddling its my favourite boat ive ever paddled, its also incredibly stable, i can count on one hand the number of times ive flipped over in it in the 7 or 8 times ive been out in it since buying it. i would highly recommend the big one.
