Be careful with weight ranges - they are not placed correctly so make sure you test one properly before buying.

About Me
183cm/73kg/Size 43
Pros / The Good
Very comfy as usual with Jacksons. Very dry - gets next to 0 water. Lots of room everywhere. Very fast.
Cons / The Bad
Jackson has messed the boater sizing for Karmas IMHO. I am in the right weight for the Medium and I cannot handle this boat properly - it simply outweighs me all the time. It's a great design but they should not have put so much volume in this boat. Trying to satisfy all the needs at the same time i.e. creeker, river runner, expedition etc. does not work out well it seems. Stick to one purpose and make a great product. This boat does NOT like to boof. I had so many "plugged" drops that I just gave up - the nose just dives down and leaves you with a horrible feeling. The boat is too heavy.
