Good times. Gigantic tsunami. Goofy-footed two-hander. Yeah, we’re not sure what GT stands for either. What we are sure of is that it’s perfect for paddlers who seek a great downriver boat with a planing hull for spinning and surfing. The chines fall between forgiveness and control in tech water plus we pumped up the volume for an oh-so-comfy ride in the big water. The hull speed is smokin’ and is spot-on for entry-level paddlers or big water specialists alike. And all this can be yours – even the super stiff D Bone Subframe™ and that shining star of a Performance Fit System™ featuring Precision adjustable thigh braces, the new Flipswitch™ backband, rebound seat pad and still new six-way adjustable AirCore™ hip pads. Stump your local dealer and ask ‘em what GT stands for.
12/16/2006 All-Around River-Runners By: Canoe & Kayak by Christian Knight Christian: - Comfort/Outfitting: This boat has inflatable hip pads that conform to your hips and a fully adjustable and durable back band. It also has plenty of foot room. - Stability: This was the most stable boat in the review. It gave me the feeling that I had good edge-to-edge control over the boat. - River-running: Excellent river-runner. I used this boat for a boater-cross competition and wished it were available for an extreme race three days later. It's fast, it's stable, and you can boof it. - Playboating/Surfing: It was pretty decent at surfing a wave. On a good wave I could get a flat spin. But it's almost impossible to get this thing vertical. Veronica: - Comfort/Outfitting: I thought the inflatable hip pads were really handy. - Stability: I never flipped over in this boat and never really felt like I would. - River-running: Seemed to go where I wanted it to go and didn't really stray. - Playboating/Surfing: Surfing makes me swim. Rob: - Comfort/Outfitting: This boat was very comfortable. I could take a nap in it. I had plenty of room for my feet. I could wear my snowshoes in there. I kind of liked the idea of the inflatable hip pads. - Stability: Very stable. - River-running: I'd probably feel more comfortable running big water in it than creeks, but I'd still run the creeks in it. - Playboating/Surfing: It's not really a playboat. But on a good wave I think it would be a good beginner playboat. |
