I'm a 5 year paddler that has finally found a boat I can fit into very comfortably. This boat handles class 3 water very well. stable and comfortable. catches fast water eddies very well, surfs great, and carves great. Excellent boat for the large paddler that wants the leg room of a Cadilac, the performance of sports car and the durability of an SUV. I'm very pleased with this kayacht.
