All you need for a tough boat that packs well and goes everywhere.

About myself



I enjoy taking extended trips to remote areas with this boat, as well as day paddling in varying conditions. 5 yrs experience, strong paddler.

About the test environments



Lake Simcoe: Home base. Nice water, tends to be gusty and can go from calm to stormy quickly. Has a tight swell spacing(compared to G.B.) and a quartering wave action that keeps you on your toes when going with the waves. I learned by experience to go with about 1/3 to 1/2 rudder depth in such situations is the best way to go. Glassy calm mornings make for nice cruising. The due north blowthrough from Katrina(straight onshore breeze/gail where I'm at) was the best play-test this boat ever passed.

Georgian Bay: Varying experiences with areas & conditions

Atlantic Ocean: Northern N.B.

Review

This boat has a good bit of speed when unloaded and can handle some pretty big stuff without a problem. It packs well with it's decent storage capacity, and handles excellent with a full load. The HDP is highly durable and will take lots of abuse for many years. Mine has.

Conclusion

Great all round sea kayak.
