Do ya like squirt boating? Euro's new Axis invites you into a new era.
At 7 ' 4.5" and 33 gal. volume, the superlinear polyethylene Axis is already making a name for itself by finishing 5th overall at Red Slide, Oregon. (The only rodeo it had a chance to participate in). Hard core Axis users boat up to class IV whitewater in this truly unique kayak. Cartwheels and mystery moves are expected. It's a great addition to anyone's Kayak quiver.
The Axis is as short as they come, as boat designs get ever shorter the Axis provides fun at a price that is hard to believe. When the rivers are low, just grab the Axis and blast, tail squirt or cartwheel your favourite hole.

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.
