About myself So i've been a raft guide for years but have just started kayaking in the last year. The space Cadet is the first short playboat that i have ever own. So far i really enjoy it. Seems like i can surf any wave of any size on the river. The only complaint i have is that it's a bit slow compared to the other play boats i have paddled. Also, the backband sits a little low. Besides this i would give it an 8.5 out of 10. About the test environment River running below 5000 CFS, and some creeks.
