Have had a secondhand Habitat 80 for about 3 months now.
Past creek boats have included a Pyranha Microbat, Bliss Stick Mystic, Fluid Solo, and Big Dog Force.
I'm about 12stone/85kg give or take with gear on and safety gear in boat. I decided to go the larger habitat for comfort

This boat will float you lightly over any whitewater you take it to, it punches holes and breaking waves with ease, with a high rail/edge to it, it is forgiving, but will power you into an eddy if you throw it on its edge. As for going forward, this is a relatively fast boat, and will surf well if you have a river wave that can accomodate the length.

Outfitting is like any other, you make it like you want it, standard adjusting with screwdriver.

The usual Wavesport quality and solid plastic has seen this second owner getting plenty of life out of this boat still, and will continue for this season, and probably next.

Worth a look at, even among today's new fashionable must have branded boats.
