Paddler weight range

Volume river. Beginner and intermediate paddlers. L version from 70 to 90 kg.

Good

Good stability and easy to direct where you like when is flat. It has a good boof and keep a lot of speed in landing because of the flat bottom. It doesn't drift much in curve and permit easy draw stroke. Good outfitting easy to regulate.

Bad

It is a slow boat and suffers on rocks because of the edges along all the boat lenght. You don't want to go really fast with this boat because becomes really hard to control.

Paddler weight range

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
