Class III+ (1.4m的跌水),加上其他二三个III-和一串II级. 这个跌水在高水位是落差2M, 甚至3M,定为IV级.

I would like to rate it between 3* and 4*.

Pro:

1. Price is great. Cheapest solution for whitewater rafting
2. OK for class I or II whitewater, fine for flat-water, Ocean-surfing
3. Looking good
4. Including fine paddle and repair kits
5. Quite Stable
6. Comfort is not too bad
7. Easy to store or transport
8. Very popular among amateur paddlers in China

Con:
1. Speed is kind of slow
2. Tracking is not great at all
3. Pump air (inflate) used to be a problem (slow), but solved after I bought a 12v Sevylor pump. Now deflate it takes more time(>10 minutes)
4. Space is enough for one adult or one adult with a little kid. More suitable for one person on small lake or small river.
5. Not very durable. Expect 20 to 30 uses.

At $80 cost, we can't expect much. The much more expensive Sevylor Models( Rio, Colorado or River) certainly do much better on many things. It makes sense.

I bought it here last Nov. I am quite pleased with the purchase. It perform better than what I expect.

Good things:

Quite stable, it takes only 5 minutes to pump the air and set it up( the fastest one I ever had), conquer class II white water without much problem. Speed and tracking are fine. Perform well both on flat water or class I or II water. Durability is quite good. Still strong after 30 uses.

Bad things:
Not for people who is tall or over 180 Ib, and don't pump too full for the bottom chamber. Otherwise, you could damage it. Both air chambers are made from so-so or cheap material. That's why it is cheapest model of great AE. Sitting is not very comfortable, but not too bad either. Can't carry much stuff.

One word: The best solution for a quick trip or short trip if you are not tall or quite slim, no matter flatwater or whitewater.

看看国人的器材条件, 用的是我已经淘汰的K330, 敬佩他们的精神.

他们的K335比我们这儿贵几乎一倍

与国内比,在美国好不少的就是户外活动的硬条件和软条件, 大家好好珍惜, 不要让青春随意流逝, 带着钱财进坟墓.

有几位RI 和CT 可能会加入我们, 我们需要更多的CT和RI朋友加入, 为了节省能源, 为了方便, 为了效率.
