"The boat feels like a little race car. Just a little lean shot the boat left or right. It would be a lot of fun to race in either windy, twisty creeks or in big packs. I agree that it would handle reasonably rough water with the volume in the bow. I’d much rather race this boat on inland water than my surfski. It has a lot more performance than I expected ..."
