Officially dubbed a River Runner, this boat is a jack of all trades, take me anywhere, be comfortable and have fun boat.

We've had a great time testing this one everywhere from the big rapids and waves of the Ottawa and New River Gorge to the tight and technical creeks of West Virginia like Mill and the Lower Meadow. Everyone who's been in the boat says the same thing, "it just feels right". I'll be using it for big water, expeditions, surface playboating, and the majority of creeks I regularly run (Jimmy Blakeney).

Solid River Runner & easy to roll

About the reviewer

Paddling 2 yrs

Test environment

Class II/III Spokane River, Clark Fork, MT; Rio Grande-Pillar Race Course, NM;

Review

Solid River Runner. Good volume, Tracks well, easy eddy in/out. Has good rails for surfing and can be a little grabby in swirly water. Over all stability good in bigger water. Easy to roll. Weakness: I have a size 12 shoe and I had to cut away some of the front pillar to make more room for my feet.

Conclusion

Over all good boat could use more volume in the foot area.
