Review:

Paddling 40 years and around 2,600 miles and this is the first IK I've gotten along with. Have used it Cl 1, 2, 2+ so far. Like all paddle craft it takes getting used to in terms of handling but manuevers very well and is extremely stable. Outside of a good current the tracking is very much like a SOT hardshell, a good deal of wobble but you do get glide too. In my books it is a very well made and designed boat for the $$$. Downside - you've got to like paddling with a wet butt or will need to put something like a 1" closed foam pad on the seat - even with that and my 170 lbs it remains stable.

Have used the Advanced Elements Attack Whitewater Kayak three times now - has performed very well in both class 1,2 and 3. Today, I took the Attack thru some pretty tough rapids and had no issues. The Attack seems durable, very maneuverable in the water, yet very stable. I am quite pleased with the product and plan to buy one more for my wife. I would say the kayak is designed for a smaller person and not an individual that is over 200 pounds.
