Very Good Beginners Boat

About myself


Im a Short lad which mucks about alot in kayaks. Mainly on the Norfolk Broads at lowestoft. We spend our summer lives in the water.

About the test environment


I have tested this boat at places like Horstead Mill, Lowestoft Beach, Cardington Slalom and of course the best place in the would the Norfolk Broads in lowestoft. Lots of seal lauchin of to bars with me mates.

Review


Very good beginners boat. i can river run this from lowestoft to bury st edmunds and back easily and still paddle afterwards.
the boat rolls really easliy and surfs like a dream.
There isnt much volume in the back and is quite easy to stern squirt.
The outfiting now contains a gel seat. I personnally have the old plastic one and have paddled it for a good 6+ hours without getting cramp.
The thighbraces and the seat are static tho. The seat can be moved about a inch and it isnt easy as me and my dad found out in his outlaw.
they are a very forgiving boat with loads of room.

Conclusion


Very Good value for money. I would and have recommended these boats to people and they are a great boat to learn in.
