This kayak has made many dozens of trips down the Mendenhall river and is one of the boats that my son learned in when he was ten years old and on up. Not one of the short play boats designed to do modern tricks while mostly submerged in a river hydraulic, the Pirouette S is comfortable for most river touring situations. Definitely not designed as a flatwater boat either, but experienced paddlers will find boat comfortable to paddle in a straight line for shorter distances. Material Perception kayaks are made of high-density polyethylene, which is virtually maintenance-free. A minimal amount of care in storage and transporting will help the kayak maintain good condition for many years. Description Two inches shorter than the standard Pirouette, the S version is designed for surf and whitewater play. The smaller volume, 23 inch beam and large cockpit will still accommodate a 200 lb paddler, but adjusts comfortably for paddlers as small as 100 lbs. The low profile deck and the Pirouettes pronounced rocker give it standout maneuverability and enable you to roll back up quickly if flipped.Carry loops, Full plate adjustable foot rest. Central buoyancy pillar A few bumps and scratches from previous use but still years worth of paddling to go. An older style boat but great for general fun paddling. The S version is designed for surf and whitewater play. The smaller volume, 23 inch beam and large cockpit will still accommodate a 180 lb paddler, but adjusts comfortably for paddlers as small as 100 lbs. The low profile deck and the Pirouettes pronounced rocker give it standout manoeuvrability and enable you to roll back up quickly if flipped.They track well compared to their shorter brethren and are faster in big water and surf, while losing little in maneuverability thanks to the pronounced rocker in the Pirouette hull. A racer by nature these boats excel at fast peel-outs and quick ferries, which is why they were popular slalom competitors. Good condition with only typical river rash.
