A great boat in the surf

About the reviewer

when i was paddling the boat i had not been kayaking for a year but looking back on it now i can see what a great boat it was for me when i started surfing

Test environment

Big seas down boscombe beach last winter

Review

This was the second boat i ever owned and when i got it i had only ever been kayak surfing about once. I found that how ever big the wave i was surfing the boat just would not nose dip.
Witch is why i think it is a great boat for people who are kust starting out into the surf who cant be botherd to master a surf kayak.
I found that after a while i could trust the boat with all most any wave as past experiences in my first ever boat a pyranha inazone saw me doing somersaults after nose dip on big waves.
The only thing with it is the weight limit 75KG but theres the 7.1 for that

Conclusion

A great boat for just setting out into the surf
