About myself

Having been paddling with club kitt for just over a year, i had decided i needed a boat, and a friend of mine was trying to sell his. Now being a simular size, and having paddled the turbo at a pool session, wearing only boardshots, i believed i could manage the boat.... oh my mistake...

At the time i could not roll sucessfully, after failing to roll the club I4 several times

About the test environment

The river teifi has some flatwater sections, with a selection of grade 2/3 rapids dotted along the way. This changes with water level, as there are two infamous areas, grade 3/4 and 4/5+ respectivly. It requires 2 days to complete in full.

Review

Boat was, as predicted, very edgy, which really improved my skills paddling in just a few days, but due to my height and weight, made the tail drag badly, and i had to constantly paddle to stay upright. The couch i was with firmly believed that once i learned to roll, i should get a boat more suited to my size.

The boat itself wasnt bad, but it seems that the club had already giving it a reputation before i brought it as a skippy little number, famed for being slightly unforgiving.

However, it was the most fun i have had on the water with the exception of some recent rivers, so if your slightl shorter then 6 foot 1, and weigh alot less, the feel free to try out the
boat!

Conclusion

Damn good fun, but not recommended for someone who can actually fit in the boat, and who is not a newbie.
