"I have used the Bass to introduce school students and beginners to whitewater paddling for many years. Though very different to traditional whitewater kayaks, the Bass has many features that make it an ideal boat for introducing raw beginners to the whitewater experience.
The wide body means the Bass is incredibly stable in all conditions. Due to it's width and flat bottom the Bass sits very high in the water allowing it not to get stuck in shallow conditions. With an extra large cockpit the students exit easily in the event of a capsize.
I find the Bass incredibly easy to deep water rescue in a capsize situation and once righted tows easily in all conditions. Students have been able to surf small river waves with ease making their river experience more enjoyable. With the fold down seat you could pack enough gear behind the seat for a short overnight expedition.
I have tried other brands available on the market but always come back to the Bass as the most versatile and suitable boat for introducing students to their first whitewater kayaking experience."
