The new 88 has also had a little bit of a re-brand and some more refined outfitting. Perhaps a little biased but I&#8217;d call it the most underrated creekboat out there. Dragorossi seem to have given themselves a bit of a market niche by making big boats for not-so-big people and that seems to work for me. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk:\/press\/?p=2122\" title=\"Pyranha Jed \u2013 First Paddle\" target=\"_blank\">Pyranha Jed<\/a> (small boat) &#8211; I&#8217;m not a huge playboating expert but with Glasgow getting a whitewater course in the near future and aspirations of a Uganda trip I decided to demo a few boats and try and find something decent 2nd hand.

I&#8217;m also a big fan of the Jackson Kayak outfitting such as the Happy Feet and Sweet Cheeks.

The Werners are obviously a market benchmark. Reliable, powerful and light. &#8216;Nuff said. The ATs are nice and flexy (picked them up after an injury to be nicer to my body). They also don&#8217;t wear down which is something of a blessing after rolling up to Glen Etive only to find out it&#8217;s going to be another low level day. I&#8217;ve got my eye on a longer set of straight shaft paddles, to see what all the recent hype about them is.
