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

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

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.
