Roman Kayaks Dynamic Evo K1 - review

I have been paddling my Roman kayaks Dynamic Evo for just over 12 months now and feel in  good position to review it. Its the kayak I paddled to win the 2022 Devizes to Westminster kayak 3 day 170km marathon. 

The first thing that you notice about this K1 is its striking looks. The hull shape is completley different to all the other major brands and popular K1's. The only other K1 that has this shape it the Kayak Centre Spectra.

Pro's -

• Stability is excellent for a fast K1
• Build quality is excellent
• Fittings are excellent 
• Looks amazing 
• Turns very tight 
• Good direction and control on the wash

Con's -

• Weight- I would prefer if it was a little lighter for a marathon K1(I havent weighed it but it feels heavier than 8kg) * Have have since change the footrest to a full plate pedal system and the kayak now weighs 8kg race ready. 
• No watch holder. I think it would be great if boats came with these fitted as standard.
