Thank you! The detail you are getting into on your reviews is excellent.

I think your review is the most refreshingly honest non-hyped, non BS review I have found. So many are "this is the best perfect agile boat ever", and I'm really tired of them. I cannot test a boat out. So thanks.

Question: With all my gear I weigh about 190lbs, so I am thinking I'll need a large. I've come from a Zen 2 Medium, and it started to feel like the bow was too big and sometimes not loose enough surfing a hole. (BTW I'm not an expert paddler, staying with II and sometimes III.) How would paddling a medium at the upper edge of the weight range affect things? Much appreciated.

I like my Antix 2 medium and I’m very interested in this boat, considering it as a replacement for my Alpha 75. I’m 175 lbs. naked and the fact that you prefer small boats and consider this a smedium, not so sure. Glad to hear how much you and Wade like the Flow.

Even as a Jackson Hater this boat has my excited

Hi Matt. Is the Flow in the same category, sort of playfull creeker, as the Indira or Reactr, or are they vastly different? I've always gone for Jackson boats but the Pyrahna and Dagger have me wondering what would be a good boat to grow with progression wise as a intermediate still getting to grips with G3?

[swimmerbytrade]

Thanks for the review. If it’s on the smaller side in the medium then I’ll have to wait for the large at 210lbs.

Where is this WW park? I didn't catch that... Looks pretty sweet!

I'm set on getting a Flow soon but torn between what size... I'm 5'10" and I hover around 145-150 lbs. I'm smack in the middle of the weight range for either boat really but I don't wanna feel too big in it or lose the sportiness I keep hearing about, having to muscle it around. I just sold a Mamba 7.6 that I loved and was in a Z3 Medium for my first boat and I felt a bit small in that boat... any guidance or help is appreciated! I'm in AR where we don't have the luxury of demoing, at least not often unfortunately

Anyone seen if these have gone on sale and if so how low it has gone and where? Thanks

[Cade_Burkhardt]

I’m not to sure on this flow but I would like to try a gnarvana

[frross]

Any idea what the volume will be for the large?

[onemoreokie]

How would you compare this with a LL RMX 76?

[artfisher]

Give it more volume. The length is fine for micro creeks. And do not start the stern rocker so far up under the seat, and you will be fine.

[Misterdunham]

Pretty sure that seat was set one notch forward, not back.

[Gnarltones]

Looks like an Alpha 75 with a flat bottom and wider bow
