Beg. -> Int. WW boat for small person
i.e. Too advanced for learning how to roll since it has a wide, flat
bottom, which has great initial stability but is hard to bring back
around if upside down watching the fish.
This shouldn't be an issue really. I know it feels different compared to
some of the older, easier to roll kayaks, but it shouldn't be that much of
a hurdle.
I know quite a few people who have a tough time rolling boats with planing
hulls; if your roll is at all sloppy, you're in for a rough time. I have
one friend who traded in an old Godzilla for a nice new Pyranha S:7 and
promptly lost what roll she had, and with it, her confidence. My suggestion
would be to pick up a used Dagger RPM and let 'er rip. But don't sell the
Prozone (unless you have to)- if she gets a good, sound roll and the
whitewater bug bites her, she'll be wanting that Prozone back in a year or
so :-)
