@@DownstreamV Update - I went 1/4" ahead of center for a try because I was stalling on the stern a bit with my rolls. Now that I'm learning the boat better, I'm realizing that really wakes up the edges, which is how this boat likes to be driven - with the edges engaged and a paddle in the water.
Man, really great review. I'm a dagger fan and have one on the way. I'm wondering how you compare it to the Reactr? I won't paddle my indra for atleast a week but 'm stoked watching all the vids. Thanks for the great review- when are you and Wade getting together for the 2023-2024 ww boat reviews?
Thanks for the kind words! I can’t really paddle the medium react r it is too big for me to give it a fair review so I will have to wait until the small drops to compare. Yea we will have to do a pod once all these boats are done releasing !
I would say quite a bit bigger overall. Definitely more punching power. Goat would feel easier to throw around but the goat is more of a true half slice so not really comparable .
Ok, so I don't kayak. My time at the New River Gorge is dedicated to rock climbing, about which I am mildly fanatical. My stepbro lives in Richmond and is more mad about kayaking than I am about climbing. Although - his son climbs like a homesick mountain goat. You might know him - Todd V. Anyway, found your channel because you asked Metalhawk about using his LOTM Turns Metal in a vid. One of my all time fav's. When are you posting the video?
Solid review thanks for posting this!
Thanks buddy !
I'm 220 in the M/L, and I put my seat back a half inch - made it track and roll better instantly. Thanks for the tip, Matt!
Awesome!

interesting design, thx for posting
Your welcome !
I’ve been wondering when you would do a review on the Indra good video and information
Thanks man yea wanted to give it a good go on a bunch of runs before posting.
Very comprehensive analysis, particularly the paddling characteristics. How do you think it compares to the Jackson Flow?
Flow more capable creek boat this is a more capable big volume down river boat. Thanks for the watch as always !
I somehow managed to flip it on the lower natty my first time 😅 user error & got laughed at by my crew lol
I’m
Not sure how that’s possible 😂😂😂

You know you can move that outer hook inward too?
Yes
How dose it sit compared to the waka goat
I would say quite a bit bigger overall. Definitely more punching power. Goat would feel easier to throw around but the goat is more of a true half slice so not really comparable .
How much do you weigh? Is the S/M good for a160 lb paddler.
150ish …you would be fine .

This was actually to commemorate a 15 year that died tragically. It was just a reel on Instagram. Just thought the song was perfect.
how would a person 175lbs go in this??
If you are running class 5+ I would probably step up to the medium/large. If your mostly paddling 3-5- you should be good
