There's a video on Corran's 2imagine blog; www.2imagine.net/blogger2006/thruster4.html Looks pretty good. Paddled be Olivier Languedoc I think...

I have now got a thruster, I have only tried it in ocean surf so far but in about 6ft surf it was sooooo fast. People who think the thigh braces are stupid just have not thought enough to go and givew them a good try, they do work. And don't call me a corran fan as I have never before had a boat designed by him (previous boats pyranha I:3 and robson NRG). I find they work and I am not such a skinny person. The bow of the boat is the sliciest I have ever paddled (compared to robson nrg, riot flair, s6f, riot orbit, riot techno, I:3 and dagger G-Ride). Although there is a huge amount of volume in the back which makes flatwater cartwheels very much harder. I also found that it bow stalls very easily, if I was any good the floops would come easily.

I would not worry about what people say who dont understand the outfitting it should work well and a lot of time and thought would of gone behind it especially as corran seems to spend more time testing proto type ideas more than any other company till he is completly statisfied
