About myself

I am a fairly decent paddler and have been paddling hard for about a year. I have developed some class V moves but normally like to paddle class IV runs.

About the test environment

I have paddled this boat on class IV creeks and have experimented on some class V rapids. Section IV of the Chattooga and Tellico as well as the Tallulah release.

Review

This boat handles very well and runs rapids great. It takes a little bit of work to make a tight slot due to the size of the boat but that's more my fault than the boats. Regardless the best thing about this boat is the way it resurfaces from a drop. It lands soft and if you are forced to pencil in it comes up even and quickly. I love my Y. Plus you can buy them new very cheaply.

Conclusion


Great boat.
