About the reviewer

I am a student at the moment, and try to fit in as much kayaking as i can in my spare time. Hope to get my 3* next season (2009) and perhaps further from there.

Test environment

I have taken this boat on the river in various conditions and done some playing in weirs etc.

Review

I really like this boat overall. I have had it nearly a year now and i feel that it is a very good boat for the larger paddler like myself. Very comfortable in whitewater spec. with the ratchet back-rest and slightly more comfortable seat than standard. I paid £599 for this boat at WhitewaterTheCanoeCentre In Shepperton, Middlesex, England, which i think is a very good shop for all your kayaking needs. This boat will glide quite quickly through the water as it is a long boat (just fits in a Ford Galaxy!) at 270cm. Definitely a wise choice for someone my size and is a lot more affordable than some that i have seen (nearly £900).

Conclusion

Great boat that is very comfortable and stable on rivers. A good value boat for all uses.
