Good times.

Gigantic tsunami. Goofy-footed two-hander. Yeah, we’re not sure what GT stands for either. What we are sure of is that it’s perfect for paddlers who seek a great downriver boat with a planing hull for spinning and surfing. The chines fall between forgiveness and control in tech water plus we pumped up the volume for an oh-so-comfy ride in the big water. The hull speed is smokin’ and is spot-on for entry-level paddlers or big water specialists alike. And all this can be yours – even the super stiff D Bone Subframe™ and that shining star of a Performance Fit System™ featuring Precision adjustable thigh braces, the new Flipswitch™ backband, rebound seat pad and still new six-way adjustable AirCore™ hip pads. Stump your local dealer and ask ‘em what GT stands for.

(GT Max is made by Dagger Europe)

Great All-Round RiverRunner

About the reviewer

I am a student at the moment, and try to fit in as much kayaking as i can in my spare time. Hope to get my 3* next season (2009) and perhaps further from there.

Test environment

I have taken this boat on the river in various conditions and done some playing in weirs etc.

Review

I really like this boat overall. I have had it nearly a year now and i feel that it is a very good boat for the larger paddler like myself. Very comfortable in whitewater spec. with the ratchet back-rest and slightly more comfortable seat than standard. I paid £599 for this boat at WhitewaterTheCanoeCentre In Shepperton, Middlesex, England, which i think is a very good shop for all your kayaking needs. This boat will glide quite quickly through the water as it is a long boat (just fits in a Ford Galaxy!) at 270cm. Definitely a wise choice for someone my size and is a lot more affordable than some that i have seen (nearly £900).

Conclusion

Great boat that is very comfortable and stable on rivers. A good value boat for all uses.
