: So do you think it might need foot braces?
: Scott

Well, I just got home from a 10 mile paddle down class 1, with maybe 15-18 sections of shallow class 2 whitewater. The boat is fast and handles great, very maneuverable, no foot braces were necessary. It did ship plenty of water in some of the larger wave trains, and during some of the rock dodging, but these boats are not designed for whitewater, at all, so I'd say it was a roaring success.

Thanks, and . . . Congrats on the house!
