Review:
Nice slicey boat. Carves really well with a good turn of speed on
a good wave. Spins easily and makes flat-water play a real dos.
Stalls are not that easy however as the boat wants to continue to
cartwheel and needs to be controlled totally otherwise you over
extend and cartwheel or face plant. Surfs really well and doesn’t
purl easily on steep breaking waves. Blunts are good as long as
the wave is fast and loops are very hard in small or not very powerful
holes but are possible.
Actually makes a good river runner as long as the flow is not ridiculously
stupid in which case you should be in a proper river runner for
forgiveness a creeker. However that aside it served me well in the
Alps as an all round boat and has been down some wicked water here
in N.I and down South.
Very comfortable boat with decent outfitting and the option of C1
conversion well built with good foot room and plastic that will
take a pounding and not be too stiff which can end up shaking you
to crap.
