Well, I wanted to get their hands on one of these canoes that combine art bouncing and sliding. The opportunity comes to our colleague José Miguel has bought one.
So yesterday we were all in Pantin, with feet of waves that were a long way.
After taking a long time in water, exchanged with José Miguel NRG and here I leave my impressions of the Project:
What I was surprised that the relative ease of uploading it to float, bearing in mind that has 197 liters of volume. TIGHT and also makes the seat quite high, which allows a wide range of movements without encountering any part of the kayak.
Slip is very good, especially in relation to the length of the canoe. Figures such as the Helix or Flip Turn become very easily. The canoe bounces a lot when combined gross pot with a little edge transfer.
However, most air power is to first bounce and can be wall because the foam has a hard time after takeoff. The sensations on board are radical total both when making maneuvers (all happens very fast) and in bringing the rollovers (remains very caught in the espumones).
The only drawbacks that I found were the footrest design that makes your thumbs to rub over the plastic and the volume in the bow that although highly effective in the loop destabilizes doing cartwheels. Unless these small defects

easy solution with a little tinkering with the first "flying hours" the second I found a very interesting kayak paddler for a good technical background.
Although it falls a bit off topic, José Miguel was amazed at how NRG to throw me to the point that eventually dubbed the "grasshopper") Salu2
