Hiya
I love the flashback. It's a great beginner boat, even for lighter paddlers. It's not a modern design, but I've always liked it (even though I don't have one and actually paddle a Zoom). My wife learnt to paddle in a Flashback - that might be part of why I like them
Now she's in a Phantom. The Flashback is very stable, but still manuverable. It's longer and fairly low in the gunwales so will be wet for a bigger paddler. But I think it's a great boat.
Cheers,
Matt
thanks for the info!
