Paddler weight range

70 - 90 kg (92 gallons)

Good

The Phoenix is fast, spinning like a top, but when goes fast, it stabilizes and it is easy to drive it safely even in difficult water. The very high nose allows you to skip most of the waves without even boofing. The short tail allows you to jump without touching the rocks on the bottom, turn quickly and do not lose control in the waves. When it lands from the boof it accelerates and glide in a surprising way.

Bad

The tail rails are quite marked and sometimes they might be felt if you are missing the right inclination of the boat.

Paddler weight range

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.

Good

The round hull allow an easy conduction on very rocky creeks

Bad

On water is hard to control. The round hull makes the kayak very nervous.
