About Me
Im 19 years old 17 stone, and 6"6'. i have been paddling for 4 years on whitewater, longer on flat
Pros / The Good
Excellent shape, it just cuts through the eddies and currents, it goes where i want it to go providing im willing to work a bit. if im honest it scares the cr*p out of me which is why i like it, you can go full whack at pretty much anything and come out OK! the most fun ive had in it was on the river dart, that was excellent. im a bit over the weight limit by about 10KGs but it seems to cope ok, im tall and i fit in, although i have taken the footrests out. its just sex on water!
Cons / The Bad
the V shape on the front can produce a fair amount of spray but it depends on what sort of river you are on. if you in fast flowing rapids, who cares? but if youre surfing its a bit of a pain, salt water and eyes dont mix very well! i cant fault anything else though!
