About the reviewer I have size 9 (43) feet but this boat is the water going equivalent of the Lotus Elise, amazing performance but a pain to use in the long term Test environment I have paddled this boat on a many rivers nothing above grade 3(+) Review I really good hull design surfs very well, handles very well in stoppers, easy to roll. Not an easy boat to get in or exit. Conclusion I had sold the boat because it was so uncomfortable. I have now brought it back an converted it into a C1 - I like it, quite a lot! ( wife not too happy)
