about me:
5' 9" 145lbs. size 10 feet.
been kayaking off and on for many years. stick to class III-VI. mostly on rental and borrowed boats. this is my second boat of my own. my first planing hull playboat style boat.

This boat took me into the modern days of Kayaking like a rocket ship! i went from years of borrowed round hull 10 ' boats to this! stability is insane. it's slow as week old molasses. tracks straight as can be expected, i've paddled around on flatwater just fine, dont know why people complain about that. Boat turns on a dime too! i can easily 360 it without using the paddle.

secondary stability is amazing for such hard edges. landing sideways on boofs or drop-ins is like landing on the hull because the sides are so flat. Speaking of boofs, this thing boofs so easily you might do backflips!

takes about 3 full strokes to get moving, it's like a weird lag.

flatwater tricks are a little hard for me being so light for the boat,but it could be skill too. when i can get it to ender, it shoots me out like a rocket!

generally love this boat and plan to thrash it until it sinks. then get another. hoping to find a wavesport Y too, for a creekboat with the same amazing hull.
