Great boat, if you can find it, Definitely recommend it. I'd only trade it out for a Project X 56. :)

About Me
Reginald here; I have been paddling for over 5 years now. I have run creeks, surfed at the beach, but mostly kayak at the USNWC.
Pros / The Good
I tried this boat out on the Nantahala and within 10-15 minutes I knew I was going to buy it from the guy. It is nice and fast. I ran the Upper Gauley with it a few years ago and that was a complete blast. Last year I had the itch for a new boat and started trying all sorts of playboats (USNWC is good for this as there is always one to rent or someone who will let you try their boat)... after trying dozens of boats over the summer, I'd get back in my Crazy 88... and realize I didn't like the new such and such. The only boat I have tried since and like a little more than mine is the Wavesport Project X 56.
Cons / The Bad
I wish it was a little wider. I sometimes struggle to spin it (but I also weigh 200lbs). I also wish the bow turned up a little more as I often get a lot of spray in the face when surfing.
Note: I did end out replacing the flimsy foam with a much stiffer foam that has greatly added to the support and provided better control.
