Nigel -San - 7 years ago

Great review! I would like to see more of this style of review I found it very helpful. It would also be good to see an updated version of this one with more boats and the latest models. PLEASE!

I think you need to take some time and go to woodprix website to learn how to make it.

I thought the Stomper was a creek boat? I would have thought it better to compare to the Remix.

Shopping for a kayak, This is the most resourceful video I have found yet. I have watched it 4-5 times already to refresh myself on what boat is what. I'm leaning towards these boats in order 1.Diesel 2. Zen. 3. Burn

I have a mamba - its great - probably the most stable boat and easiest to roll

Craig Mayer I actually took mine on the ocean for surfing and it was excellent actually, I would definitely recommend the diesel even if your near the top of the weight range (I was 10kg over the top of mine and it was fine)

+Craig Mayer actually looking at the long boats shown on you tube they aren't what I'm talking about. I have an old Perception Corsica S , something like that style would be better I think.

gregory ray - 8 years ago

+Craig Mayer I don't know if I'd get one of these for that. I'd go with what people call a Long Boat. You can use these whitewater boats anywhere but they don't track very well but they are nimble. The larger river running styles may be better.

+gregory ray hi are you able to take these out in the ocean every now and again? debating what the best fit is I want a kayak that's Bible and quick in the water. but may go out ln the ocean from time to time would that be a bad idea?

gregory ray - 9 years ago

Love my Diesel. Hope you got it.

I personally love the Stomper 80, I am 6'7 220lbs an it fits me better than the 69.

kurtrosenwinkel - 11 years ago

Paddled the Diesel and absolutely loved it, but I ended up getting a barely used Burn 2012 for $500. They're very similar. I would recommend either boat.

its the petawawa

i paddled all these boats and more of same type befour i decided what boat i should get and i would highly recomend the zet raptor its not a very well known boat but the peole who make it know what their doing.In my opinion its the best flat bottomed river runner out there.

peacesells63 - 11 years ago

I paddled a remix xp10 about 20 times on class 2 before the stomper. for my level, I would highly recommend the stomper. if you are completely new to hardshells, consider the remix or mamba. Also, consider what kind of water you will be paddling. In AZ, we mostly have rocky low volume creeks and rivers.

peacesells63 - 11 years ago

After all of my research, I bought a stomper 90. I'm a beginner, and I had no chance to demo any of these boats. I was between the mamba, stomper, and remix, but after 4 runs in the stomper im glad I chose it. For read and run rapids it is great because you can change directions instantly, it speeds up in 2-3 strokes, and it has tons of secondary stability. It also rolls and boofs effortlessly. The volume lets it get pushed around by weird currents, but makes up for it by skipping over holes.

They never really said which one would be good for a beginner :/
