About the reviewer Im pretty new to playboating Test environment River Dart, Exe and swimming pool Review The boat is just brilliant! I find it super easy to double pump (foward and reverse), and cartwheeling is just a breeze. I do find it hard to balance on end but that may be through lack of practice. I have only used it on very small waves but it has no problem staying on the smallest ripple. Having also paddled a G-force I much prefer this boat and soo do a few G-force owners I know. The Robson also has fair river running ability and can boof pretty well. Conclusion A excelent boat for a beginner or advanced paddler. I definately recomend this boat.
