Good

Canoe with fairly standard lines that make it easy to drive. The tail makes it easy to lift the tip.

Bad

Personally, I'm not very convinced by the little tail support given by the high rear rocker (which is common with many waka). I am still not convinced of the material's resistance over time, as it is not even repairable.

Good

The mamba is an easy boat to start with. It's indicated for river under class IV. It could be considered a easy boat to start with since it's stable and quite easy to direct.

Bad

The low profile nose, associated with the general low volume, do not permit hard creeking and doesn't help in difficult water. The hull is slow but stable and easy to direct. The design is quite old and there are more performing boat on market now.
