About myself



Hi im 16 5'8 and got about size 9 feet, I've only been paddling for about 2 years and previous to my Project 52 i had an ina-zone 232 which was a good boat but not really the best for anything, since i got the project my river running and play boating has come on loads

About the test environment



I first tried this boat at a demo day and along with the fluild flirt, the ZG and the prototype pyranha rev, i thought the project came out the best. i have recently paddled the project on the river irwell in Manchester which is about a grade ii /iii at high water which it was and also on the Washburn a dam release

Review



What can i say i absolutely love this boat. Before i got my P52 the best play boating move i could do it an ender and that was with a bit of water in my boat, now i can throw down ends on flat water and in a hole, i can bow stall and am on my way to learning to loop. My river running has come on as well, and seeing that the project has got the same volume as my ina-zone it sits nicely on the water, surprisingly i find that the edges don't catch and I've only been back looped once (and that was my fault any way). On a wave this boat is fast, it carves nicely from side to side and will respond to the subtlest change in edges, it's amazing. In a hole the boat stays on the surface well, until you initiate a move and then it is super quick. The best part of all is that is mega easy to roll

Outfitting
The outfitting is lush, the seat is really comfortable and can be move easily to suit your style, the thigh braces hold you nicely and the hip pads are shaped to fit you hips (who would have thought it)

Conclusion



I recommend this boat or a project of a bigger or smaller size to anyone, they are just fantastic and will progress you loads
