good boat

About myself


I have been paddling for a while now and am a 3* kayaker. I live in colerine.

About the test environment


The Whiterocks, Portrush, quite large surf.

Review


I have never capsized so many times in my life on a wave, this boat is quite unforgiving, it felt as if it was trying to snap me in two when I went under (but I enjoyed it). It is quite fast on waves and it turns like lightning, but it has a very low volume tail so be careful not to lean back when going over waves. It gives a little bit of a bounce at times and is very easy to roll.

I dont think that it would be really a good boat for beginners, but for intermediate upwards it's soooooo much fun!!!

Conclusion


I really enjoyed it and as it is quite an old boat you could pick it up fairly cheap.
