Well my ride report is similar to Steve's. I got on it with no expectations and was completely impressed with how it performed. If I could describe it in one word, I would say BALANCED. It feels so balanced it kinda confused me as I wasn't expecting that with a budget a/m hull. I have ridden various a/m hulls and this one is my favourite so far. It's very easy to manipulate it in the water and when it's in mid air.
The steering is responsive, it carves well, if you want the nose up higher or down you just think about it. The more time I was putting on it, I wanted to ride more and more aggressively.
I'm going to shorten the pole and possibly shorten the ride plate before we go to Sarnia this weekend.
