    Can you recomend a club boat for a white water beginner

    What boats do people recommend for a beginner white water paddler? We have lots of boats and I've no idea really.

    I took the whip-it down Holme Pier Point, and managed to not fall out much in three runs - though i was being rather risk adverse in my paddling.

    The whip-its got quite low back but is suprisingly supportive in flat water. Its a little cramped but that migt have added it its control.

    Should I try a higher volume boat?

    I would look at the blue Dagger's , they're very capable white water boats...
