Weight Of Use
This boat cannot be considered a special boat but the beginner and the advanced kayaker can enjoy this kayak both in valume and steep creeks. The M version is good from 70 to 80 Kg.
Good
Easy kayak with a good bow shape. The high front rocker permit to easely boof waves and holes. This kayak keeps the line in a good way and it's not hard to correct if necessary.
Bad
Very soft plastic and the seat it's not very solid (I felt it moving sidewise). The hul is quite narrow and thus the kayak it's a bit unstable. The vertical side on the back makes some rotations harder
