About myself I am a fairly experianced paddler. I have been paddling for almost two years, mainly on class IV rivers on the east coast. Other boats I have paddled are a Wavesport T3 and an X. About the test environment I have run a few IVs and a V in this boat without any major issues. Review This is a very good boat. It boofs well, lands soft, and is fast and stable without sacraficing manuverability. It does everything I ask it to do with ease. Also, it rolls like a dream. The first time I got into this boat, I was able to nail a hands roll on each side efortlessly. After about 20 minutes of work, I was even able to roll it with just hip-snap, no paddle stroke or hands. I also really like the volume placement. It never gets bogged down punching through holes or on swrily eddy lines. It can even be surfed and spun in playholes a bit if that fits your fancy. Conclusion Great all around creeker. It does everything with a nice low price tag. ...
