I paddled one of these babies down the middle fork of the Flathead River in Montana. Wow, what can I say. It was an unforgettable experience. It is definitely a fun boat, but it kind of bucks when you hit big rapids which in turn causes you to get flipped out of it. This would be a really fun boat to play around in on more mellow rivers and lakes, but from my experience with it I wouldn't take it on anything over Class II.

get some thigh braces and you will be all set. I have taken this down the Hudson (class II to IV) the Kennebeck (Class III-IV) and the Gates of Lodor section of the Green River (Class II-IV) and have been flipped out very few times. Also keep the boat perpendicular to the waves, lean forward and learn to brace. That should keep you in the boat.
