This boat cannot be considered a special boat but the beginner and the advanced kayaker can enjoy this kayak both in valume and steep creeks. The M version is good from 70 to 80 Kg.

Good

Easy kayak with a good bow shape. The high front rocker permit to easely boof waves and holes. This kayak keeps the line in a good way and it's not hard to correct if necessary.

Bad

Very soft plastic and the seat it's not very solid (I felt it moving sidewise). The hul is quite narrow and thus the kayak it's a bit unstable. The vertical side on the back makes some rotations harder

Paddler weight range

Good for steep rivers and medium volume. This model is good for intermediate and advanced paddlers who don't have stablity problems. The 80 gallons version is suitable for paddlers from 70 to 80 Kg. The 90 gallon is suitable from 75 to 90 Kg.

Good

The Stomper has the same amazing boofing skill of the Jefe. This boat helps a lot to put the nose over everything. It's a very fast and easy to maneuver.

Bad

The only big defect of this boat is the stablity. The Stomper doesn't really help you if you are loosing the balance. The secondary stability is very low.
