If you have ever had a hard time learning or refreshing your roll, or just want a boat that is the easiest to roll, these XP's are the easiest. Ive been kayaking and teaching kayak for over 20+ years. There is no other kayak as easy to roll as the XP 9 and 10. The boat is wide and stable but never feels clumsy. Testamount to LL BA outfitting seat, backband and thigh braces...all adjustable and super comfy..and green. BA is 100% recycled and recyclable. other companies Foam is ozone eating glacier melting BS.
The 9 is best for paddlers from 100 to 220 lbs. its a big boat that fits smaller paddlers, optimal performace is about 120 to 175 lbs. Its wider with moderate rocker, fast at 9'3" and can hold a ferry better than most kayaks out there. XP can track straight and true on flatwater, and can tackle class 1 to 4 rapids in dry upright style, and can handle almost all the classic mulit day trips of the west...and without raft support.
Best of best for beginners and multiday
