Hi Wade - very much looking forward to your Scorch vs ReactR comparison and the full ReactR review. One question - I am paddling a large Scorch and absolutely love it. But - its really big. Do you think the ReactR will be sized better? I am 230lbs so too big for a medium Scorch but kinda swim in the large Scorch. As always, keep your videos coming, they are used by many of us to understand the new boats and their performance.

@riveringmovie5046Ай бұрын
For what it is worth, I bought the Scorch X because I was on the high end of the medium and the low end of the large. I weigh 195 with no gear, but I have had the boat full of kit for multi-day trips, and it still paddled well. I love the X, though it took me few days to get my head around it. It does not feel big despite its length.
