Good

A very fast and quite maneuverable boat. Designed for competitions.

Bad

Stability is a major issue with this canoe. It's completely lacking in primary and secondary stability. The length of the tail rocker also makes boofing a bit more difficult.

Best in steep creek, but good performance in hard volume too. This boat is indicated from class 4 to 6 for intermediate and advance paddlers. The 80 gallon version is good from 75 to 100 Kg and the 74 version from 65 to 80 Kg. The smaller version has the same features but more manoeuvrability.
