About the reviewer


I'm a class 3-4 paddler. This was my first boat after a 7 year break from kayaking

Test environment


Tested on a man made courses and Class 3-4 rivers

Review


The best way that I can describe this boat is this... "it can do just about anything but nothing well". That goes from the outfitting to the rails. The tail is super catchy, My feet were always going numb. I could not ever get it vertical in flatwater (which I will agree had more to do with me than the boat but a diff boat made a MASSIVE change). It did surf reasonably well in holes and would plane out ok. spins were ok. When I had this boat I was just getting into playboating. I got an offer on another boat and couldnt sell my CR fast enough. I sold it with a happy feet and float bags just to get rid of it.

Conclusion


So in the end. I personally say "pass". Not a good boat for me, catchy edges, slow moving and not a confidence building boat, Oh yea. Terrible outfitting.

Like every boat: demo befor you buy and don't just take my opinion.
