Great all round kayak

About the reviewer

Amateur sportsman with special interest on kayaking, mountain biking and running.

Test environment

Calm and moderate rough water with some strong tidal and weak wind

Review

The Ouassou is a reliable boat with great stability and quick response, very confortable, also adequate for several hours of paddling without problem. However it lacks room for even a small bag. The back of the boat could have been better usable with straps or a luggage net for instance. It lacks also a little bit of speed when compared with the RTM Mambo probably because it hasn't a real keel for crossing waves. The flat bottom is good for other things like stability and quick vectorial change.

Conclusion

Very usable kayak in almost any situation, a true four wheeler of the water. I will test it in white water very soon.
