This is a killer river boat! Most sit on tops are made for flat water only, surf only, or river only. The Manta Ray's deliver on the flats, but its like no other sit on top on moving water. The boat's bow easiley rides over waves and holes on the river or in the break zone. The Bow is a "sheding water" design, meaning it drains off water fast! The mulit chines make turning easy or on comand. It is not a sluggish boat at all like a lot of sit ons that are made strictly for flatwater. Basically, this is a well balanced, predictable handling boat for a variety of conditions. Add the rudder if you paddle more than 75% flat water.
