About myself

I was told by an assessor to move up to a bigger boat if I was to do more river leading. This comment was made in reference to the fact that I couldn’t carry people on the back of my old one a Bliss Stick RAD185!!!

I've run a few grade 3's and 4's including Hebden Water , River Kent and Tees Barrage both in a river running and teaching capacity.

Review

I’ve been paddling for ten years and this boat is just totally effortless. The size and comfort is fantastic. The high rocker allows for very fast turns and its blunt nose and volume just allow you to bounce effortlessly down the river. The outfitting is of an excellent standard. Really impressed with the grabrails and carrying loops. An excellent river runner and good for rescues.

Conclusion

Superb. Can't help but notice how safe you feel in it.
