: Is she tippy or stable, In other words, would you recommend her to a
: beginner, or a very skilled paddler?
: Nice pictures
: Thanks
She is very stable and I have let totally beginners paddle her. They felt safe and was impressed by how easy she was to manouver inspite of her size. I´ve also had experienced paddlers (former swedish champion in kajakslalom) and he was was also impressed. In fact she is rather hard to turn over with, you must work her down. My son said that she was a little harder then a slalomkayak to roll with. This Panache weights in at 21kilos.
I´ve seen a Panache with rudder and can´t for my life understand why!!!!
Now you can read more in english on my site. More pictures will come.
