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

70 - 90 kg (92 gallons)

Good

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.
