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.

About the reviewer I'm an intermediate to advanced river runner. Test environment A lot of rivers in Quebec : Rouge, Gatineau, Kipawa, and the Bottom Moose. Review This is a good all-around boat. I'm not a rodeo guy, but it allows to surf easily, as long as the wave is long enough... It is fast, easy to move around, easy to roll, predictable, and it forgives the paddler's mistakes. I'm 6'1, and I had a good fit after cutting a little bit of the foam to give more room for feet. The recommended weight is 154 to 230 lbs, and I didn't feel the boat to be too big for my weight even if I'm only 135. Conclusion Good all-around boat for beginners to advanced paddlers.
