Matt Clark managed to get a couple of demo boats from https://s2s-shop.com and has kindly sent in these images.

At ~67kg the GOAT is a little big for me as a half slice (the Rexy is a bit smaller and more playful), but the Billygoat is PERFECT as a creeker and exactly what I was hoping for.

It is more agile, edgier (and better/more precise on edge) Tuna 2 with more rocker, or a faster stout.

If you were in between sizes for the two boats and bought a Tuna as the Stout felt too short/slow, you’ll love the Billygoat.

Both boats paddle WAY better with the seat moved all the way back doing that really brings them to life.
