About the reviewer

Like river running but greatest love is playboating.
Like to do class five Upper Gauleu and Russell Fork at fall release.....but again, like class 3 and 4 playboating rivers better.

Test environment

Class three and four playboating river levels on Russell Fork, under 200CFS in TwinTip and on the Ocoee.

My friend also paddles TwinTip and we spend seven hour days on the Ocoee(Olympic Course and river) and five hour days going thru the Russell Fork Gorge---At above 450CFS it is class Five, below class three?

Review

First we heat and blow up footwells to accomodate our large feet/and/or builds.
We foam out knee areas and form foamy footpads to customize our feet for seven hour comfort.
I use TwinTip to do vertical moves on flatwater and playfeatures. My bud uses it to do all the above plus he is cartwheeling and doing vertical 360 degree moves on flat and moving water.
He has tried the very latest in rad playboats but nothing has outshone the TwinTip yet(May 2008). He loves Russell Fork at flood for his TwinTip above the Gorge.

Me-I don't even try other boats. I would buy a spare TwinTip and so would he. Just can't find them in USA anymore. I personally know of two more but owners won't sell. Bud has had to weld hip joint numerous times as his has worn out from hundreds of vertical moves.

Conclusion

Sorry-I rambled and did conclusion above.
I have tried to contact Robson numerous times, raving about their product-They either ignore me or, as I suspect, have cut off all ties and hopes to USA since they no longer market their kayaks here.

Would love to get an import price!

About myself

I'm 16, live in Belgium and I kayak since I was 14. I bought my Twintip 2 months ago.

About the test environment

I tested it on flatwater and it cartweels like ... You can still use it on class 3 to 4 with 2.5 meters jumps.

Review

If you want to learn how to cartwheel this is the boat you are looking for.
It has great balance in waves and holes and it carves and spins without a problem .....

Conclusion

The best boat I ever had (i only had 3), only the backband isn't as good as it could be but that can be replaced...

About myself

About the test environment

Review

Absolutely brilliant boat. No previous playboating experience. After 2hrs i had managed to cartwheel on flat water. Great boat, easy to paddle, great for playing, forgiving. What doesnt it do???? Well basically the only problem i have with it is that you need to make your own footrest (not much of a prob i know :D)

Conclusion

Excellent.
