About Me
Paddling 10 years. raft guide. paddle grade V creeks. 6'2". 13.5 stone.
Pros / The Good
Best creeker I have ever paddled. Very good displacement hull. Boofs easily. Re-emerges quickly. Sheds water fast. I feel very on top of the boat whereas in other creekers i feel very sunken and not as in control. Spins into eddys well. quite fast. All round creeking machine. Very good outfitting. Prefere the new ratchet system. Plenty of foot room. Good safety points.
Cons / The Bad
Very little wrong with this boat. My legs go numb occasionally but thats part of kayaking. Maybe a slightly softer seat would be an improvement. Sometimes feels a bit long going for micro eddys but any shorter and backlooping in a stopper becomes more of a problem. Other than that it is absolutely perfect! Not a better one out there!
