This boat is amazingly stable and very forgiving. A brilliant boat to learn a river in and also has an amazing amount of room in the hold at the back behind a bulkhead, and loads of room, for me at least, behind the full plate footrest for kit on an expedition. The skeg system is awesome for tracking in a straght line. The Fusion is surprisingly maneuverable and can turn as fast if not faster than the pyranha burn (creek boat). My one has the connect 30 outfitting and i love it for it's comfort so i can stay on the water for hours. This boat is so easy to roll but it's edges are still forgiving so they don't catch on moving water. I've paddled it on the sea, on rapids; like symonds yat, estuarys, moving water, surfed a couple of standing waves from weirs.
