Weight Of Use
Could be indicated for heavy beginners and intermediate kayakers. This model can be used for paddlers over 85kg.
Good
Very big boat with a great lateral stability. The heavy kayaker could appreciate the forgivness due to the big volume.
Bad
The tail is massive and hard to move and control. The boof results quite hard because of the flatness of the back rocker. The high lateral stability makes the Director very hard to control using the hips. The kayak can be hard to drive trough big waves from medium size paddlers.
