What I like about the boat:

- it is very light and easy to carry even for a rather small woman
- quite fast on flat water
- good fit for smaller paddlers especially on the sides

What I don't like about this boat:

- needs active paddling, otherwise you will go for a swim
- no reliable straight run
- easy to roll

My boat is a first generation Eskimo Kendo with cloth grips and a samurai fighter painted on it.
