About the reviewer intermediate kayaker, river guide Test environment Casselman River, PA Review I switched from a Ammo to the Scud and find the scud more playful and actually stable. It carves very well into eddies and during peal outs. It was very easy to alter course when an unexpected ledge shows up. Conclusion I believe I will be using this for quite a while. Sort of like having a sprts car tather than a SUV yet able to handle SUV conditions.

About the reviewer Retired Test environment Lower Yough, Shanendoah and Patomac rivers, Friends Creek and Crazy creek, and other local rivers. Review Very stable boat, with the ability to carve and manuver very quickly. The strings that hold the seat back were a bit week, replaced with carabeeners, and put additional padding on the out side of the knees that adjusted with the Thigh braces. Now it is perfect. Conclusion I am very impressed with this boat. Have been able to do rivers I had only hoped to do in the past.

Begginer to intermediate paddler. Running class 2 through 4 at this time. The AMMO has elimiated my loosing control while river running and surfing. Not a play boat but surfs like one. So far have only run class 2-3 with it since it is winter and I am enjoying short and safe runs for now. Spring will be great. One thing I have to get used to is that wnen I get out of the boat I have to avoind bumping the ratchet seat adjustmets with my knees becase it has a built in quick release feature that is great during an unexpected wet exit but slams me back when I am climbing out at the take out. I feel more confident in my paddling and recomend it to anyone who likes to river run, surf, execute 360s, etc.
