   L—Dogg has been guiding and paddling full time on the Kennebec River for three years. Currently she is employed by a local rafting company as a video boater. Here’s what she had to say about the Siren:

Surfing

"Well, let's see. It's really loose, but you can slice back and forth on the wave. And all the rocker on it makes so you don't pearl."

Learning

"It might be kind of squirrely, but I think that makes for a good beginner boat. - because being always on your toes helps you learn fast."

Cartwheel

"Cartwheels are very easy to initiate in this boat."

L-Dogg's Final Comments

"What appealed to me about this boat is that it's the first one to be specifically designed for a woman. And the only thing I don't love about it is the price. Does anyone want to buy a XXX?"

Fit

"Wave Sport's outfitting makes it really easy. You can get comfortable in it in 10 minutes. Fits great right off the shelf."
