About the reviewer When I paddled this boat I was a brand new paddler still working on basic skills such as rolling, eddy catching, and many other basic skills. Test environment Nantahala River, Lake, small surf spots Review This was a pretty good learning boat for rolling and basic class 2 river running. Since it is a creek boat it obviously did not excel in surfing and other activities that require a bit more of a hull design. But overall a pretty good beginner boat. Conclusion It did the job it was purchased to do.

About the reviewer I'm a fairly new kayaker, I have been paddling for less than a year but have tried out a number of different boats, creek and play, in that time. Test environment The beautiful pool drop waterfalls of the Micos River. Review It did great, I had previously only paddled this boat on class II, but it made a wonderfully playful river runner for this amazing unique run. It was comfortable to be in for extended periods of time, which makes this a great boat for both play and running rivers. Conclusion I look forward to getting this boat out on some play and exploring many more rivers!
