Good

An evolution of the OG, longer and with slightly less steep rockers. The kayak is quite fast and easy to handle.

Bad

The tail is a bit strange. Its behavior isn't always predictable or expected.
Better than the OG, but it's difficult for many to understand.

Paddler weight range

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.
