good family kayak

About the Reviewer


Hi, I'm a sea paddler that usually use a VTR slalom kayak, and i have bought BIC Tobago for my family (me, my wife and two kids)

Test environment


I have tested the kayak in the sea between santa margherita Ligure and Portofino in august 2007, flat sea.

Review


The main quality is stability. No problem for boarding and trasversal waves.

The position is comfortable for the paddler and the little passengers, boot in the center of kayak. The speed is not the best quality, but keep easly the direction.

Conclusion


A good kayak for the family.
