Paddler weight range

Advanced paddler can appreciate her in big volume rivers even more that an Habitat. Beginner and intermediate paddler can have fun and learn really easely the kayaking bases. 80 gallons version from 75 to 90 kg. 70 gallons version from 60 to 75. 60 gallons version up to 60 kg.

Good

Good stability and easy to direct where you like. It can move in the river like a slalom boat and the control is superb. Really good for river running and play. The new version made the boat softer in the lines and faster in linear speed. Easy to control at maximum speed. Good outfitting easy to regulate

Bad

Not much to say, the tail can sink if the paddler is heavy and it's not really good for steep hard creeking.

Paddler weight range

This boat is good for beginners, intermediate and advanced paddler who likes big volume rivers. Good for paddler between 70 and 90 kg, while the little sister 'veloc' could be good from 60 to 70-75 kg.

Good

Good feelings in big water and good speed in waves thanks to the flat bottom and the low profile tail. The weight is nicely about 1-2 kg below the average.

Bad

The rails make the boat a bit harder to control in rocky creeks. The outfitting is not very comfortable especially for the legs. The boof in drops with an entry slope are much harder because of the low tail profile.
