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

Both steep and volume river. Good for beginners and intermediate paddlers. The 80 gallons version is good from 75 to 90 kg. The small version, a much nicer boat, is good from 60 to 75 Kg.

Good

A good boat with high performance in any water. It's fast and easy to drive even at high speed. The nose cut the water pretty well and keep the speed when landing from boof. ",

Bad

The big version (80 gallons) has a big volume in the back. This feature make the tail a bit harder to control in big volume. However, the small version (74 gallons) feels balanced. Some times the rails could give some problems in the rocky rivers. In the last few years the production got worse and the material and outfitting are now quite bad.
