- needs active paddling, otherwise you will go for a swim

I have a third generation (2005) Kendo.

It's 23.6 inches width. It makes it easy to roll, but surely it's not as stable as a 24.5 or 25 inches width boat.

Our experience is that it's a little difficult for beginners (they're always upside down) but it's for intermediate paddlers (and up) it's so fun ! Also, it's so fast that you won't miss that eddy...

I got used to it within a couple of days, and its low width makes it respond quickly to currents but it's easy to change your lean, so the boat will give you a hint where a bigger boat would have brought you upside down before you have time to react.
