About the reviewer I paddle regularly on small whitewater and flat water I enjoy playboating, river running and general paddling trips Test environment Man made Whitewater, Weirs and Flatwater Review A fairly good intermediate level boat excellent for getting air and looping however for beginners getting vertical and cartwheeling are extremely hard work . Fairly responsive a good all round boat especially for the prices today ( I managed to get mine for £210 off Ebay) Conclusion A good deal for anywhere under £260 if you learn the basics in this you'll be able to do them in pretty much anything
