All things to all men

Over the years I've tried just about every fashion kayak and still kept coming back to either my trusty RPM for easy water or my Micro for bigger.
Nothing I found gave me:-
comfort
easy roll
manouvreability
confidence

as much as these 2. Until now...

I purchased a Diesel 65 at UK Canoes in Lancaster and haven't looked back since. It is brilliant.
Easy to roll; no hard edges; excellent fittings and seat; and its performance on the Cumbrian rivers thus far (Rothay, Leven) and the Lune have made me fall in love.

Oh - and it is seriously light to carry - major factor when you get to my age!! If you don't believe me try carrying an M3 upstream for 1/2 mile.

Another review commented on the plastic. Mines ok currently and it has taken some pretty big hits.
