Review


Boat came with re cut foam, a great time saver. Also a water bottle and a cool Africa shaped sponge. Outfitting is solid, nothing cheap and little details appreciated - like recesses string for the drain plug.
The boat handles very well, very predicatable. Attains quickly, carves smoothly. I've found it quite easy to roll, on both my strong and 'off' sides. It surfs nicely, but does seem to be a bit tricky to throw down at all. Will have to work on that technique rather than brawn. This boat is lighter than other 'big boats' such as the Super fun or Super Ez.

Conclusion


I'd recommend this boat to the bigger guys looking for an excellent river runner that surfs and plays a little too. Great boat if you are a 'one boat' man.
