I just wanted to comment from a less hard-core boater perspective about my Taureau. I took the Taureau on a class II river yesterday, late afternoon. Surprise- the dam released 18,000 cfs turning it into a class III with 1 IV. I couldn't believe how dry the boat was in those big wave trains with lots of breaking waves. It felt more solid the harder the water I paddled. Folks need to make sure they cut the foam so the knees go out as far as possible and probably lower the saddle, then whoopie. I do not have Louie's skills or kahoonas so thought folks might enjoy a comment.

No way
