Pros / The Good
Brilliant little boat in terms of the amount of fun. Can throw it around easily and without fear of breaking it! Especially good in the smaller vertical waves near shore, but also ok in the bigger steeper stuff.
Lightweight, particularly for a plastic boat.
Cons / The Bad
Plastic construction obviously not as good as Kevlar/fibre glass, but a lot cheaper!
