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.

Good
A canoe that can truly support heavier paddlers, yet is easy and fast. Excellent speed through the waves and great lateral stability. Balanced and easy to use canoe.
Bad
I found a slight resistance to the line correction if you miss the line and you are at speed.
