The Everest is my go to boat for expedition paddling. It is also great for bigger paddlers. At 6' and 148 lbs I am well below the weight range for the boat. Even with twelve days of food, ropes and other climbing gear on a recent trip, this boat was still easily controlled. Not what I was expecting being a smaller person. I think that the design of the boat still performed for me under these conditions speaks for itself.

I weigh 195 and this boat rips for me. I love it in almost all situations! If you want a little more tracking than the burn go with the everest.

Yes, I work for Pyranha so this is a bit biased but this boat rocks! I am 5'10" and 175lb so definately on small side for this boat technically. I have put a seat pad under the Connect 30 pad to raise myself up and it makes a huge difference! It locks you in to the outfitting and gives me much better control over the boat. This boat is fast and maneuverable. I paddle the Green in NC alot and this boat has really helped me with lines that I have not had confidence in running before, ie direct at Gorilla. I have always and I mean always caught the eddy in the notch. Close to 400 runs of Gorilla and only tried to go direct a handful of times. Jerry's Baddle race is coming up so I thought I better start trying to dial in the direct line and the Everest really gives me confidence to do this. Anyway, just thought I would post a little bit about this great boat.
