    Wilderness are pretty solid lots of shops in Ireland stock them,

    Wilderness Tarpon is good link here
    Has a rudder so can be more maneuverable!

    Yea I have a Client out on one last summer learning some river skills it seemed supper stable and was able to make some moves on the river too whilst also pretty good tracking straight and forward speed, Seemed pretty decent.
