Weight Of Use

70 - 90 kg (92 gallons)

Good

The Phoenix is fast, spinning like a top, but when goes fast, it stabilizes and it is easy to drive it safely even in difficult water. The very high nose allows you to skip most of the waves without even boofing. The short tail allows you to jump without touching the rocks on the bottom, turn quickly and do not lose control in the waves. When it lands from the boof it accelerates and glide in a surprising way.

Bad

The tail rails are quite marked and sometimes they might be felt if you are missing the right inclination of the boat.

Weight Of Use

Could be indicated for heavy beginners and intermediate kayakers. This model can be used for paddlers over 85kg.

Good

Very big boat with a great lateral stability. The heavy kayaker could appreciate the forgivness due to the big volume.

Bad

The tail is massive and hard to move and control. The boof results quite hard because of the flatness of the back rocker. The high lateral stability makes the Director very hard to control using the hips. The kayak can be hard to drive trough big waves from medium size paddlers.
