Review:
This is a good technical river boat. Good for charging through holes and stoppers.
I think it’s more suitable for Irish / UK Style Rivers where stoppers and tight eddies are the name of the game. It gets really good speed in even the most messed up water. There is no noticeable decrease in speed when punching through holes and the boat is quite responsive regardless of its length.

It resurfaces quickly and the edges don’t get loaded in big water so less chance of capsizing. Its really easy to roll and not a particularly heavy boat. It’s very comfortable to sit in for long periods of time when scouting those new creeks and burns.

I found it an easy boat to transfer from a playboat. This is not an expedition creeker / WW boat but aimed more toward technical runs that are too risky in a lower volume and shorter boat.

The fittings are functional, no fuss, no gimmick but comfortable and do the job without overloading the boat with stupid crap that you wont need and can’t use. The only real clip points are the bow & stern grab handle bars, but as I say there is less stuff on this boat as it’s not an expedition boat!

So if you’re looking for a creeker / big WW boat then this will do the job nicely without being overkill.
