Sweet Boat!

About the reviewer

I have been kayaking for over 12 years. I get out a few times a week year round. I have done alot of hard class V but now days I have a family and mostly Play boat.

Test environment

SF american river

Review

Love this boat. I originaly wanted to get a new school radical boat, but a friend sold me this for so cheep so I figured I night as well try it out. What a sweet boat. it cartwheels like a hoola hoop, balances on the stern perfect, carves up waves, and spins like a top.

Conclusion

Can't yet get it to do all the "new school" moves, but what a great all round kayak. two thumbs up. lots of fun.

Wow, a little boat for a big guy.

I took this boat out for a demo and was amazed. I am 6'5" and weigh 200 lbs. Tall and slender I am, so it is very hard to find a playboat with low volume and plenty of leg room.

The Process: I had to remove the thigh braces and bulk head. The seat also had to be placed as far back as it would go.

The results: Although I was a tad stern heavy I loved this boat. It spun like a record for me. Prior to my run in this boat I had never done a flat water cartwheel. Bingo, second try and I did one! As for stalls . The boat has a ton of potential. I just need a few more days on the river to get the hang of it.

In short I am loving this boat.

I highly recommend it.
