found it slightly hard to keep straight . i dont know wether i wasnt used to it or if its just for manoverabilty .. rolling is what i would say difficult but in fairness the boat is huge it was going to be anyway . the only flaw i see with the boat really in design is that the foot block is jacksons own one that uses the string to pull it up . im not a big fan of this due to it never being stiff . might be great when doing grade 5 rivers and having some play and cushion the blows but i wasnt liking it when i was racing
