The RAD is a great small boat for big boys!

The RAD 185 is a freestyle kayak that suits me down to the ground. I have tried numerous other boats and I keep on coming back to the RAD.

I am right at the top of the weight range for this boat and I wouldn't recommend you buy it if you weigh over 105kgs. There is plenty of foot room, I have size UK 11's and I am confortable.

Due to the length of the boat, of lack of, it performs extremely well in shallow holes. The thing that surprised me the most was the speed of the hull on the flat, racing back up the eddy and on the wave.

So, a great low cost freestyle kayak that lets us bigger boys go big without getting in a bath to do so!
