Just tried one out yesterday on baily. The word that best discribes the rocker is PREDICTABLE. Very forgiving, resurfaces are so controled, stable, turns on a dime, effortless rolling. The bow with it's volume and rocker rides high, and the boat boofs easily. The thigh braces and foot brace worked very well for me, and the boat was totaly dry. The only problem I had with it was that it seemed to stall on eddylines. I'm sure this is no problem once you are used to the boat, it just requires a forward stroke when eddying out. Not something I'm used to with my embudo that is much faster. Didn't get it on any big water but I'm guessing the boats length and rocker would make it difficult for holding a good line and for having good speed. Paddles a bit like a Y, but much snappier. All in all I think a very good design for a creeker. Thanks to Marty for lending his boat.
