why have pyranha made the hull like a banana? that boat is going to be sloooow.

pity cos the width looks good. I reckon it'll be good in a hole for the newer moves

I paddled the Rev M

The hull is not completely flat.
There are no rocker breaks. Thus, the hull gradually curves up into the tail rocker.
There is no completely flat plaining area, this seems to have the effect of making the boat really slow (like the S6X).
This type of continous rocker is used in surfboard designs to deal with really steep waaves.
So on normal river green waves there is no shoot down the face of a wave. This is probably different on a really steep wave.
Its a real pity as the rest of the boat design seems great. The rails work well with a crisp carvey feel. The width is nice too with the boat kicking up into flip turns etc really easily. In a hole the boat looks corky cartwhheling, but loops huge.

Pity about the rocker and the lack of speed. Slower than Project, RAD, Agent, All Star etc IMO
