| pros: | Best creeker i ever paddled. Turns on a dime, spins like crazy for a flat spin. Simple to roll and head dink. Boffs like a pro resurfaces quickly. |
| cons: | Difficult to surf and ferry. |
| other: | Overall a great creek boat. |

| pros: | huge rocker allows you to skip over small holes without getting your head wet. turns quickly and re-surfaces quickly.
boofs well. All in all an excellent creek boat. |
| cons: | Not easy to adjust seat, outfitting not great. No drain plug which should be on all creek boats (I added one easily)
Plastic is soft, time will tell how it holds up. Im having problems tracking with this boat. I think (hope) I'm just not use to how quickly it turns. |
| other: | Hard to find these boats for sale. There is a Guy selling one basically brand new for $1200 Canadian (250) 246-1236. |

| pros: | Extreme bow rocker - will not pin. Possible to boof on autopilot. Very controlled in drops and highly maneuvarable. Very easy to redirect and great acceleration. |
| cons: | Extreme bow rocker can lead to the loss of line when going off flakes and rocks. It is better to take them slowly than rapidly. It loses speed after drops - gotta paddle hard. This, actually, is a good feature for very steep runs. I found that the thighbraces place my legs in a weird position and removed them. I also had to drill a hole in the fron pilar for my heels. Now the boat is comfortable. |
| other: | I have paddled the CFS, Gus, Big Gun, Stubby. This boat, though, is the best steep creeker around. It is a solid design. |

| pros: | Amazing creeker. Fast, maneuverable, resurfaces like a dream. Plenty of rocker for those times when you need it. Punches through holes like they weren't even there. |
| cons: | Haven't found one yet. |
| other: | no comment |

| pros: | Forgiving, easy to roll boat. Boofs easily, skims over smaller holes and keeps you on top of frothy water. It's a solid, comfortable boat that you feel safe traversing nearly anything in. |
| cons: | Once you've been sucked into a hole, it tends to stay there. Tracking is not terribly good and requires lots of hard paddling to get where you want if you're not right on your line. Outfitting is not great but that's what they make foam inserts for, right? |
| other: | I've paddled the cfs and find this is a better boat. The cfs tracks better but the Huka has more rocker and surfacing ability. Also, for me, this was just one of those boats that I sat in and found it fit just right and felt solid. |

| pros: | Resurfaces unbelievably well out of a drop. Rolls easily. A very solid boat. Solid bulkhead has saved my ankles a number of times. |
| cons: | Outfitting sucks. The backband in mine slips constantly and the thigh braces don't wrap around enough. |
| other: | After 2 years of hard use, I finally punched a huge dent in this boat after getting completely trashed in a class V hole. I figured I'd have to heat up the hull and use a jack inside to force it back into shape but as I applied heat, the hull simply reformed back to its original shape. Nice..... Except for the crappy backband, this boat is really the balls and exceeds my expectations at every turn |
