Paddler weight range

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.

Paddler weight range

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.
