Great boat, if you can find it, Definitely recommend it. I'd only trade it out for a Project X 56. :)

Ok like I said, I'm 6' 165lbs. I'm an intermediate paddler, and I've been paddling this boat since September last year.

I usually take this boat out onto the big waves of the Lachine Rapids (expo 67, or Big Joe), but I have used it on the Rouge river at some pretty big levels, and it did me just fine.

This boat is fast. I am able to catch the same waves that normally only the fast Riot boats that I see so often would have caught. It's also a nice edgy boat, with lots of carve to it. The only place that its lacking a bit is in its bounce. This is mainly because the stiffening system in these boats could use some work, but a little foam under the front pillar took care of a lot of the flex.

The outfitting this year is the best on the market. I've tryed them all (Riot, Necky, LL, and Wavesport) and none, except for Wave sport, compare to this system. It's easy to adjust, the pleasure pod works great and the sitting possition is awesome for keeping the legs alive and the blood flowing.

I really like this boat, especially on Montreal's big waves. A perfect boat for the intermediate paddler looking to try some new stuff, or a pro looking for a boat that'll do it all.

im john and i paddled this boat on the stonycreek over new years i have been an avid playboater for about a year now. stony creek is incredible for river play infact it might be turned into an outdoor center a few years from now. anyways about the boat it has great edges for carving up waves as well as a lot of bounce. i am a little on the light side but it still handles great. the overthruster kinda seems like a gimmick to most but i assure you that when you are trying to loop it will kick your ass out of that hole faster than any other boat will. go out and pick this boat up thanks
