Bought new in the spring. Paddled about 20 days in the back country. A dream to portage, very light and well balanced. Seems to take the punishment pretty well (I was afraid it would be too delicate for hard tripping). Did re-epoxy the hull with System Three clearcoat epoxy to make sure none of the abasions went through to the carbon fibre. Did 6 days solo, paddles very well reversed from the bow seat balance in this config is great with 60-80 pounds at the front; doesn't weather vane in the wind and handles heavy waves very well. Very fast and agile. Only complaint is that the plastic end caps are fragile and will have to be replaced at some time way too soon (I've never had one deteriorate on a boat before certainly not nearly this quickly)
