Ok so I know these boats will float, how could they not? But given the opportunity to take one out for a test paddle is a no-brainier... so i took a 12 footer down to Lake Pelican and put it in the water. The wind was blowing off shore so the water looked calm. I had to stand on the painter line to keep the boat from being blown away as I snapped pictures like a fashion model....
I did paddle it for awhile, up and down the shoreline... it took a moment to get the feel of the boat and relaxed into the seat. There is a bit of rocker in the craft and using a single blade is a bit cumbersome. Using a double blade though really brings out the speed and maneuverability. Just a pleasure to paddle.
