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.

Weight Of Use
Both steep and volume river. Good for beginners and intermediate paddlers. The 80 gallons version is good from 75 to 90 kg. The small version, a much nicer boat, is good from 60 to 75 Kg.
Good
A good boat with high performance in any water. It's fast and easy to drive even at high speed. The nose cut the water pretty well and keep the speed when landing from boof. ",
Bad
The big version (80 gallons) has a big volume in the back. This feature make the tail a bit harder to control in big volume. However, the small version (74 gallons) feels balanced. Some times the rails could give some problems in the rocky rivers. In the last few years the production got worse and the material and outfitting are now quite bad.
