A fun little kayak - smallest of the 3 semi-planing designs.
Some people still use them as a small person's creek boat and river-runner. A small or aggressive person who is used to full displacement hull kayaks would find this a good intermediate step between old and new school playboats.

About the reviewer
used to paddle alot of class iv and v when i was younger. Am just starting again after about 10 years. Wow things have changed! Am paddling smaller rivers now trying to get back into it.Test environment
Nanthala N.C. and ChattoogaReview
Compared to the boats of the early 1990's that i was used to, this boat is slow. I mean real slow! Its hard to put the boat where i want in the river. I have also noticied it does not want to punch through a big water hole very well. It is very uncomortable but i believe this is because i may be too big for it. The upside is that it is a very stable boat and rolls easy. It is very stable and resurfaces fast and clean after a drop. Real small and manuverable. Its hard not to like it just because its so cute. Kinda like a litte brother.Conclusion
Good small person begginer kayak. Its great to just barrel down a river in, but if you want to work on eddy turns and technical rivers its probally not the boat for u.Review
