About the reviewer

About the reviewer

I'm an intermediate to advanced river runner

Test environment

River running, class 3-4

Review

good :
- Very fast
- very easy to roll
- lots of room for feet in the front and gear in the back
- Enter an eddy in a class 3-4 rapid and you'll feel like you're driving a F-1 !!!

bad :
- a little nervous for beginners
- Eskimo review says it's good for surfing, but with a 8'6'' long boat you need a long wave for a front surf

Conclusion


It's narrow which makes it a little nervous for beginners, but for more experienced paddlers it'a an advantage, since it allows to come back from a bad lean with just an hip snap, without even needing to brace.
