About Me
6'5ft size 14 uk foot 19 stone . Mainly paddled this boat in class 2-3 water . wish i could paddle in bigger water but i couldnt help the weather while i had it
Pros / The Good
nice boat large volume which is nice . loads of storage space in front of the footrest and behind you . cockpit is huge no chance of getting stuck . foot area is huge as well i can get in with my huge feet and have a pair of DC's on as well. fast boat ,nice rails . dont catch unless you need them too. plenty of stability
Cons / The Bad
found it slightly hard to keep straight . i dont know wether i wasnt used to it or if its just for manoverabilty .. rolling is what i would say difficult but in fairness the boat is huge it was going to be anyway . the only flaw i see with the boat really in design is that the foot block is jacksons own one that uses the string to pull it up . im not a big fan of this due to it never being stiff . might be great when doing grade 5 rivers and having some play and cushion the blows but i wasnt liking it when i was racing
