We picked up our new Scorpius XS just over a week ago, and I managed to get one paddle in before heading back up to the frozen Midwestern USA. I was very impressed with the boat overall; it's hard to believe how light and stiff this boat is! The ergonomics are excellent; it's a very comfortable boat to paddle. I've only paddled it for 40 minutes or so on flat-water, but I was impressed by the effortless cruise (the hull seems to be very efficient) and re quick reaction to rudder inputs (also the excellent stability). I think it's going to be a lot of fun (when our water is no longer solid!) :)
