About myself I've been paddling for lots. I did my first river when I was ten, so I guess ten years or so. I like to run rivers and coach. I'm happiest on grade four but can push it harder for a bit of five. This is my first big river runner but I have borrowed and used many different styles with many different style hulls. About the test environment Big volume grade three and technical grade fours around the Dartmoor area. Both rivers have lots of little micro eddies that are quite hard to hit. Review The first thing I noticed, being a really lanky bugger, was that the medium has loads of space in. It's rare for me to find a boat that I can pop straight in without taking any tools to it . After I did the usual outfitting faff in very little time I took the bad boy out. The first thing to hit was how well it sat on edge. It's so stable on its rails...
