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.

Quite good balanced kayak. Fast and quite easy to direct. Bad
The nose it's not very high comparing with the new kayaks. The stability is not the best.

An evolution of the OG, longer and with slightly less steep rockers. The kayak is quite fast and easy to handle. Bad
The tail is a bit strange. Its behavior isn't always predictable or expected.
Better than the OG, but it's difficult for many to understand.
Weight Of Use
from 75 to 85 kg Good
Fast and easy to control especially on big water. Very stable and keeps the line very well Bad
The length of the kayak (9ft) could be a problem in very small and technical rivers.
Weight Of Use
Medium version 65-75kg max! Good
Easy boat with a great bow rocker easy to boof and control. Bad
I just found a little problem in stability. The outfitting is always quite bad.
Weight Of Use
Version M 75 -90 kg Good
Easy boat for hard and easy rivers. Very good lateral stability in every situation. Easy to boof and control at medium-low speed. Bad
The speed is the biggest problem of this boat. It is slow and if it get speed, it's hard to keep it straight. In big volumes the huge volume in the nose could be hard to control.
Weight Of Use
80 - 105 kg Good
A canoe that can truly support heavier paddlers, yet is easy and fast. Excellent speed through the waves and great lateral stability. Balanced and easy to use canoe. Bad
I found a slight resistance to the line correction if you miss the line and you are at speed.
Weight Of Use
70 - 85kg Good
Canoe with fairly standard lines that make it easy to drive. The tail makes it easy to lift the tip. Bad
Personally, I'm not very convinced by the little tail support given by the high rear rocker (which is common with many waka). I am still not convinced of the material's resistance over time, as it is not even repairable.

75-85 kg Good
This canoe is very easy to maneuver and turn, especially at low speeds. Even without significant boofing, the tip rocker tends to overwhelm everything. Its linear speed is on par with all current fast canoes. It's definitely a good choice for waterfalls. The very wide cockpit at knee height makes getting in and out of the canoe very comfortable. Bad
The only negative I've experienced, accustomed to the Phoenix, is the lack of tail grip during turns; if you want to change direction at speed, the tail tends to drift, making the maneuver slow. Boofing is also limited due to the considerable length and surface area of ​​the tail, but it certainly can't be said that the canoe doesn't boof well.
The cockpit and the volume around the knees are decidedly large, and the spray skirt is quite exposed to impact with the paddle shaft (which could shorten the life of the spray skirt).

This boat is fast and easy to drive mainly in easy water. Bad
The biggest problem is the low nose profile that makes the boof quite hard.
Weight Of Use
from 75 to 87 kg Good
This model is really easy to drive especially at low speed. The tail rocker is very high and therefore the boof is really easy. In the wave trains this model can really follow the waves very quickly Bad
At high speed the control of the boat is a bit harder. However is easy to recover. The boat seems to be not very solid and the outfitting is not the best.
Weight Of Use
Size L from 70 to 80kg - Size S from 50 to 65kg Good
Very fast kayak and quick to turn. Easy to boof and maneuver quickly. Bad
The only flaw I found is the low lateral stability due to the very narrow width. Occasionally I had feelings of loss of control at high speeds.
Weight Of Use
from 60 to 73 kg. Good
This model is a fast boat developed for creeking. The rocker are pretty high but the speed of the boat is good. Bad
The only problem is that the boat keep weird lines as soon you loose a bit the control. The long tail sometimes touch the rock while boofing.
Weight Of Use
Good kayak for the intermediate and advanced paddler for big volume rivers. The kayaker must be maximum 75-80 Kg. Good
Very easy to control on big water. Very nice the feeling when you land from a boof. Good stability Bad
The construction is still a work in progress. The seat is quite high and it's not possible to low it down. The side rails can give problems on rocky rivers. The new version doesn't have an high nose for boofing

Fast kayak with an high nose to stay over waves Bad
It's a bit hard to get back in line. Rise the nose it's not an easy task since the tail is quite long. It's not very stable since is quite narrow.

The mamba is an easy boat to start with. It's indicated for river under class IV. It could be considered a easy boat to start with since it's stable and quite easy to direct. Bad
The low profile nose, associated with the general low volume, do not permit hard creeking and doesn't help in difficult water. The hull is slow but stable and easy to direct. The design is quite old and there are more performing boat on market now.
