Zastera Sprinter Review

This is going to be the first of many reviews to come. 

On monday i tried out a zastera sprinter small. It was in training spec and is a fine racing boat. It weighed 9kg.

I picked up the boat and it had extremely easy balance to hold compared to an older style winged boat I used before (Marsport Cougar). The boat was unstable, yet not twitchy at all allowing me to do a smooth fast technique without feeling uncomfortable. Luckily I didn't fall in either. The boat cut through the water very nicely and was strong and rigid. It had a large rocker allowing good glide on each stroke for marathon. Although the tiller bar was about a foot long so I struggled too steer the boat which was quite irritating but someone could quite easily cut that a few inches shorter. 

All in all I'd say the boat was a very high quality boat and is very cheap for such good quality at a starting price of £1190 from the UK resellers, Extreme G. 

The boat gets 4 out of 5 stars from me.

Here is a link to the zastera website were you can order the boats from. (use this if your from the US).
