Great Boat

About myself I have been paddling for a number of years with a recent break of about 2 years. Started paddling lots again this year. Skecthy start but it came back quick. Solid Class III paddler. Learning to play more. About the test environment Chilliwack river on Class III and II. It is lower water levels now so lots of Boofing. Many waves to surf and plenty of eddies to squirt and stall with. Review I paddled this and the Rx 6.7 with a friend switching it up during the run. Although both boats are in a similiar category the feel quite different. I found the EZG 50 to be a very stable platform for me to remember my paddling cofidence at the beginning of the season. It is a responsive (some say squirrley) surfer. I like the responsiveness of the boat. Fairly easy to get your ends down for me to learn to stall and eventually get a proper cartwheel in. My friend cartwheels...

Good surfer graby tail

About myself I have been paddling for about 5 years. I did take two years off in the middle when I only got in a kayak rarely and did an easy run down the river. I started paddling 2-3 times a week in the early part of this season. I work for a shop so have paddled many different boats back to back About the test environment Chilliwack River Lower run. One section of class three followed by mostly class two with a couple tricky 3ish eddies. Review First of all I must say that the Mission is not a bad boat. I did not find anything really wrong with the boat just not to my particular tastes. I really like the bow, the fact that it did not pearl in a wave. I did find the tail to be a bit grabby. I noticed on a few occasions that the grabbiness of the tail caught me off guard and I was upside down in a section that I have paddled about 30+ times this year....
