About myself for this boat i am bottom end of the weight range but i found this does not matter. i started playboating a bit under a year ago my rolling was not great and nor were my support strokes. About the test environment flat water and eddies Review when i got this boat my confidence was not great and i woud not volentarily roll in white water to the extent that i wolud not try new moves. after i got this boat my confidence was sky high. easy rolling very stable and easy to sink the ends. also the outfitting is the comfiest i have ever paddled in. if you are going to get this kayak i would recomed getting the happy feet foot bag because a foam footblock in this kayak is not very comfy but bareable Conclusion I LOVE THIS BOAT and would recomend it to any one looking to improve thier playboating/white water
