About the reviewer

Work at French Creek Outfitters Kayak department manager

Test environment

Flood stage on Manatawny Creek in Pottstown Pa. Maybe small class 2 at a few points.

Review

Handled very well, easy to surf in small waves we found near a broken dam, pulls 360 spins well, end over end probably didn't work because i am a bit to heavy for the boat. But it was easy to recover and glided through all the stream with ease. Grinded down a rock over a small waterfall which was surprisingly easy. Didnt fit to well a little cramped for my feet and thighs when getting in

Conclusion

Great boat to use for a paddler to the weight range around 220 lbs ( about 100 kilos) don't push it to far or the performance suffers. Great all around play boat though.
