Good

Very balanced boat. The high nose allows good boof and the speed is impressive. Easy to drive.

Bad

The weight of the kayak is for sure the biggest problem. The rails also can be hard on rocky creeks.

Paddler weight range

Size L from 70 to 80kg - Size S from 50 to 65kg

Good

Very fast kayak and quick to turn. Easy to boof and maneuver quickly.

Bad

The only flaw I found is the low lateral stability due to the very narrow width. Occasionally I had feelings of loss of control at high speeds.
