The all round best boat I've ever owned!

About myself


I've been paddling whitewater in the South Island of New Zealand for about 7 years. I an 183cm tall, weigh 70kg and have size 8.5 feet. I am comfortable in grade 3 water but generally don't do much playing other than surfing.

About the test environment


I have paddled the Fly since I was a beginner, in a wide variety of rivers in Canterbury, Murchison and the West Coast at wide variety of flows (from low to flooded).

Review


Great little river runner, stable, fast, manoeuvrable and very comfortable. No central pillar to cramp your legs. Good strong Prijon plastic. Surf nicely. It is also relatively light to carry at 15kg. Works best if you are under 80kg otherwise it tends to sub out a bit. Plenty of space for carrying safety gear etc too.

Conclusion


If I was only allowed to have one boat, this would be it. I just love it.
