You get performance without feeling on edge. Confident in rough water Buoyant bow stays dry through chop. Balanced volume front and back gives a smooth ride over steep waves. Catches and surfs waves easily without burying the nose. Effortless turning Chined hull and progressive edge response make turns smooth and intuitive. Lean it over and the stern lifts—the harder you edge, the tighter you turn. Minimal skeg needed Designed for neutral directional stability in most wind conditions. Use the skeg when you want to, not because you have to. Exceptional fit and comfort Adjustable plate footrest with natural ankle angle. Choice of seat widths. Hip pads that can be foam-shimmed.
