Snowboarder, Team JK member Darin McQuoid leaves the slopes to go kayaking- has this 2007 Rocker review…

By Darin McQuoid

EJ,

I got the Rocker out today on a local lclass IV+ creek at lower flows,
quite the opposite of the first time I paddled it. I had a hard time juding
the character of the boat in big water. I was worried in technical terrain
it would feel too big, which it certainly didn’t! Creeking today all I can
say is that I am in love with this boat, quick turning, quick acceleration,
quick response to paddle strokes, quick to resurface, I was loving it. I was impressed by the top end speed of the boat and loved the huge secondary
stability. It resurfaced in great controll too, super impressed with the new Rocker. Feel free to make this a mini review for a paddler who is 5’6" and 145lbs. All fired up about it now – Darin
