About the reviewer

I'm an intermediate to advanced river runner.

Test environment

A lot of rivers in Quebec : Rouge, Gatineau, Kipawa, and the Bottom Moose.

Review

This is a good all-around boat. I'm not a rodeo guy, but it allows to surf easily, as long as the wave is long enough...

It is fast, easy to move around, easy to roll, predictable, and it forgives the paddler's mistakes.

I'm 6'1, and I had a good fit after cutting a little bit of the foam to give more room for feet.

The recommended weight is 154 to 230 lbs, and I didn't feel the boat to be too big for my weight even if I'm only 135.

Conclusion

Good all-around boat for beginners to advanced paddlers.
