About the reviewer

I padlle up to a 3+ at the moment and playboating

Test environment

Mangahao slalom Site in Shannon New zealand

Review

An upside to this boat is the stability on the flat, but in the whit the rails seem to catch easily when Navigating Rapids, The boat seem very sluggish and non-responsive, the outfitting is comfortable but being a muti-piece constuction it did not add to the ridgity of the boat. I found the small grap loops insufficient when trying to pull the boat out of the water. I will say that the boat was vey comfortable to sit in. As jackon say the boat stayed very dry on the inside.
There are no places to tie airbags or equipment in the back so i had to resort to the backband.

The whole boat seemed to flex alot if pressure was applied to the top of the boat.

Conclusion

In conclusion i would only recomend the for a slower relaxed paddler who wants a learner boat, Personally i was not satisfied with this boat and would really recomend it to others
