About the reviewer

.

Test environment

grade i-ii rapid, awesome eddy lines, small waves.

Review

At first i found the boat very tippy, but after moving the seat right the way forward it was a lot better. When going for an ender you have to initiate it before you get in the hole otherwise the volume in the bow makes it really hard. Stern squirts are easy but unstable due to the short stern. Surfing small waves is very easy but you have to make sure your sitting right on top otherwise the bow dives , but it is easily recovered. Tried to spin it and got it into back surf but flushed off as the wave wasnt very retentive. Ferry gliding is very easy. I found it very slow on flatwater but it could be because im used to paddling an inazone. Mine came with no foot block but it has been fine without one.

Conclusion

good boat, good value for money
