Summary:
The first boat I've bought. I haven't paddled it extensively yet, but from what I have paddled it, I love it. It's a dream to edge, and rolling isn't bad at all. Able to bow stall and cartwheel easily, and also has great squirting ability.

Summary:
Fantastic boat. Not too small that it feels like a slug, but not too big that you can't throw it around with ease. Very fast on waves and beautifully balanced on end and edge. The only problem is the New Zealand version is not outfitted to the same level as the US model. No pleasure pod or rodeo style seat. Because of this I believe the boat wont really take off in NZ when compared to the full spec Dagger's, Riot's etc but at $300 less than those boats it's good value for money.

Customer Service:
Contacted perception NZ regarding pleasure pods and eventually managed to fluke a free one. I found the service to be pretty good.

Summary:
The best boat I have paddled yet. This thing rocks. I am a big guy 6' 205 Lbs. and it is a hoot to throw this thing around. It cartwheels a bit slowly, but is very consistent and well balanced. This thing is like a razor on waves and spins on a dime. (my buddy also has one and he is 170 Lbs. and I cant believe what he flat spins on) Highly recomended for anyone wanting a comfortable fun as hell play boat!

Customer Service:
Zilcho experience.
