It handled well even with 18 stone of paddler and a fair bit of gear. It isn't a playboat but it felt quite good on moving water, carving nicely into eddies.<br /><br />I'm not entirely convinced by the idea of a skeg on this type of boat but have to admit that it did make things easier (if a tiny amount slower) on the long flat sections.SeanJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032682174977137658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1671743687399660212.post-25345155567458535052011-03-04T09:20:10.827-08:002011-03-04T09:20:10.827-08:00In reply to Eurion, we paddled downstream on both ...In reply to Eurion, we paddled downstream on both rivers and south to north on the sea. We carried all our gear on the Eden even though we had bank support. <br />In reply to Dr Blug, I really enjoyed paddling the Fusion. It coped well with the grade 3 section of the Lune, was fast on the flat and very comfy to sit in for a long time. Plenty of space for gear too. Would recommend it.Kate Duffushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923206576209254577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1671743687399660212.post-76363697296617224002011-02-26T15:25:03.195-08:002011-02-26T15:25:03.195-08:00Good stuff KSJ!
