About the reviewer I am an avid adventurer, who frequently paddles challenging rapids. Test environment Class 4 rapids. Review It is a great boat, that enables the kayaker to do some more extreme rapids without needing a creek boat. The Diesel 65 is good for creeking,but is also good for river-running, and surfing. It surprisingly turns very quickly, and is very fast for its bulky nature. Conclusion A great boat, for creeking or any other river runs.
