So I have had our Shiva prototype for about three weeks now. I have been able to paddle it on every style of whitewater thus far. Crystal Gorge CO, Gore Canyon, CO, Bailey Canyon CO, North Fork, Upper and Lower Blackwater, WV, Hornbecks,PA Shohola, PA, Leavitt Branch, PA, Sawkill, PA, Upper Yough, MD…….. I think that is most of the rivers. This has given me the opportunity it try this boat in big water, big water creek, low volume creek, and steep creeks. I have also let several friends try out the boat. Some first time creek boaters. They said it was easy to boof, easy to turn, fast, and really easy to roll. My brother for example has tried to hand roll boats with little success. He tried the Shiva one day on the lower Yough. At the take out he did five hand rolls with little trouble. Anyway, just what I have seen from the boat so far. We will have it at the Gauley Fest.  Come give it a look for yourself. Click Here for a video from the Pocono creeks in Pennsylvania.
