About the reviewer
I have been paddeling from childhood. Worked as a kayak instructor and raft guide in the alps(PBO) and in canada(MKC).Test environment
(very) high waters in austria last week. class 3-4+ bulky water and technical not to steep creeking.Review
the spice is a nice boat, high level and quality outfitting. i think the plastic quality seems on the soft side (large scratches even with much water). I think it is a good boat if you want one boat that can do it all. the hull design ensures good characteristics on class 4 rapids, it resurfaces very nice and predictable when you drop into a hole. surfs great with good carving. my rodeo skills are not good enough to comment on wave moves so cannot say. what i like less is it's speed. it is not fast, so on big rivers you will have difficulty catching fast waves (or is it me? ;oP). also the behaviour on the eddy line is less predictable so you need attention to keep it on the 'sick-line'...Conclusion
good one boat play/riverrunner if you do not need the speed. good all rounder with play potential.Review
