Review

Got a Magnum this spring and I love it. The outfitting is great and easy to adjust. The thigh braces do a great job for me and when you had the triangular minicell and the other side of the knee you have great control on your boat. The Magnum has enough speed to do the must do ferry or catch the smallest eddy but it's not too fast. It's got a good accelleration and can keep its line yet it's easy to change direction. The new plastic is solid but if I could I would get one with a nose cap. The Magnum has very good first and second stability. It rides high on the water so you're not influenced by the boogie water, the volume distribution and rocker are very good and that helps you punch over the hole. There's a lot of volume on the stern and that helps a lot avoiding back endering.

I will go on class V creek withs confidence in my Magnum, because it's stable and it punches trough holes easelly and with its speed I can do any ferry and catch that last eddy before the big class V rapid. I would give 5 star if it came with a nose cap.
