About myself

Been paddling for about 3 years, not much of a serious playboater but I'm starting to get more into that

About the test environment

Penrith was built for the Olympic and it was the site for the Freeestyle Worlds and PreWorlds 04/05. Grade 3. lots of varied play.

Review

I really liked the scooter, found it easy to control in a surf, quick edge to edge switches. Feels smaller than the volume suggests, it's slicey enough that cartwheels should be no prob (once i learn how to do them). Narrowness great for surf control but a little edgier so will take a little bit of getting used to but overall very forgiving boat to paddle.
Outfitting simple and comfy (seat and thighs) didn't like backband at all, didn't ratchet tight enough and rubbed like sandpaper. So I've got my old RAD one in there for now.
Got foot foam in instead of their bean bag thingy too because it moved around way too much.

Conclusion

Very happy in this boat, everyone said I should try a vision instead but I like the extra volume in the scooter (compared to small vision) and I find the baot more comfy to paddle.
