I went out for the first beach launch in The new Model Raptor after watching my friends get washed up on shore in there hobies, when I seen how much gear they dumped into the ocean I knew i couldn't afford to dump my tackle into the ocean, attempting to launch into whitewater surf. looking into the surf I had to admit I looked a little ruff. The Raptor cut through the surf and sliced right through the waves to make it out on the water without losing any of my gear!. Once I was out on the water I couldn't of been more comfortable is a perfect fit for beach launches and stable enough to take a nap on out in the ocean. when the first few waves came crashing over the cockpit hull I was very impressed with how fast the water drained through the scupper holes and maintained its stability when getting tossed through the tide launching into what seemed like a wall of surf. FAST and I mean a few strokes on the water and you can really get this yak moving!! STABLE!! hang off the side and relax your legs without worrying about flipping over, easy to climb back on out of the water most imprtantly easy to transport. the New Raptor is a Smash hit in my book everyone loves the design. I would recommend the sit on top model to eveyone who wants a stable Kayak with a solid platform either fishing diving or just to enjoy out on the water!
