About myself A beginner paddler is what i am but have had a selection of choice in playboats over ther past two years from all makers. About the test environment The area of testing for the boat was a confirtable grade two river(irish grades) Review This boat loves to dance as many paddlers will find when they go for there first roll in this boat as it quickly flings you around in all directions. O n first look at this boat i thought it would be simirlar to all other boats in its class but where its true strenght is found in its light design, and small size. anyone who finds themselves in this boat will soon be finding air underneat them. Conclusion A light weight dancer.
