A fast, light flatwater K1, accelerates (stings!) very quickly off the mark. Excellent tracking and washriding characteristics although steering is lazy at turn buoys (normal for a fast boat).

I would say this boat is perhaps slightly more stable than a Nelo Vanquish, very similar to the older Cleaver X.

!!LCRK Fleet - #17 Competition Kayaks Sting
!!! Review
A fast, light flatwater K1, accelerates (stings!) very quickly off the mark. Excellent tracking and washriding characteristics although steering is lazy at turn buoys (normal for a fast boat).
The seat did not chafe or cause any discomfort over a series of paddles over a 2 week period. I believe this boat can also accommodate larger paddlers, perhaps up to 85kg. at 77kg I could feel that if the conditions got rough I would bounce about somewhat, whereas a heavier paddler would perhaps be more stable.
I would say this boat is perhaps slightly more stable than a Nelo Vanquish, very similar to the older Cleaver X.
