I think you'd find the Taureau very friendly to a beginner/intermediate paddler. Especially if you're used to smaller boats...but even if you're from a big boat background. I think it's a great boat!! :D

The Taureau is very forgiving; its lines are subtle which is helpful in a lot of situations.

Also, it's a breeze to roll, as long as you have airbags in it.

It also depends on what kind of rivers you're look at: it can track alright with good cross bow strokes, but it's not flatwater tripper by any means.
Is this a rock I see before me?

I just picked a new one up and got a great price. Looking forward to a steeper spring than normal (and possibly teaching the ladyfriend some OC).
