It was a fun kayak for river running and eddy hopping.

About Me
I'm 5'5" with a 28" inseam, US size 8 men shoes, and at the time 185 lbs. I had a number of years and a number kayaks under my belt but the time I owned a Scud. I was mainly a river runner with just a pinch of creek action and was not a play boater in any from.
Pros / The Good
The Scud had bomber plastic, easy to roll, playful hull, very forgiving, it road over waves and would cross holes that seamed impossible for its shot size. Great boat for eddy hopping and relaxing on the river run. The seat was comfortable for long trips and the outfitting was an upgrade from Bliss-sticks past kayaks. Well placed drain plug.
Cons / The Bad
Bliss-stick bomber plastic comes with a weight penalty and is very noticeable in the Scud and Rad kayaks.
