ost people aren’t styling airscrews or hucking 80-footers. They’re river running. So why are most people paddling dedicated play or creekboats when any good matchmaker can tell that they’d be happier in a fulfilling, long-term relationship with a river runner?
Testing a line-up of boats is like speed dating and our possible matches all have bios claiming they’re really fun, straight and fast (hey, we’re talking boats here!). Going out with each, we learned which ones we wanted to spend more time with and which ones would end up breaking our hearts.
Our testers considered comfort, speed, stability, maneuverability, playfulness and ability to punch through holes. As it turns out, not everyone is just looking to take long walks on the beach.
