![]() The thing I like most about it is I can rest my legs in may different positions, so no cramping like in a standard hull after many hours on a stream. It is also a good platform for photography & to collect wildlife samples with. I like to use it when going with inexperienced groups so I can jump off to show them a technique. When / if they master this, it is good for their future paddling life. I like it for this reason, but I end up doing a vertical forward stroke paddling class for them. They can’t get it to track since it’s designed to turn. I have found that I get a lot of newby friends wanting to use it since it’s a SOT, but when they get on the water it’s a problem. ![]() It is a very nice platform for warm days, but doesn’t have the body contact / control of a standard kayak. ![]() I have taken it down a number of Class II / III runs without any problem except for the occasional swim & it doesn’t side surf very well. I bought my Torrent back in 2004 and was my first WW boat.
