Wavesport Recon Review Gear Institute We got our hands on the mid sized 83 this year (the recon comes in three sizes—70, 83 and 93, referring to volume in gallons). it was the perfect size, it seemed, for boaters 5’7” to 5’10”ish (recommended paddler weight: 140 200 lbs.), which most of our testers fell between. what we first noticed was its fit. simply put, the company. The recon has loads of integrated safety features: a safety step out wall, seven points of rescue for boat extractions and an auto adjusting bulkhead foot brace designed to fill up empty bow space so feet can’t get stuck behind it. wave sport recon s m l specs length: 7’9” 8’3” 8’8” width: 25.5” 26.5” 27”.
Wavesport Recon Review Gear Institute The recon 83 is only one inch shorter than the habitat 80, but the hull shape actually places much less of the boat in the water. this shorter effective length is certainly a plus for catching eddies and taking aggressive bow draws, but there are some disadvantages. anytime a new boat comes to the market, it is almost always followed by wild. One is the recon. the habitat was a good design, but the recon is improved, for sure. i consider wave sport cockpits to have always been excellent, and the whole boat is definetly a phenominal creek boat design. the only dislike i initially have about the recon its weight. Adam and the recon 83 dropping sunset falls. handling: normally i paddle a dagger nomad 8.1 so it was a big change getting into the wave sport recon. the recon is noticeably bigger and heavier, and the recon has a solid edge while the nomad has a smooth chine. i wasn't too excited about the weight because the first run i did i had a long hike. In a response to a comment on the previous cks review of the wave sport recon 93, the following is a more detailed review of the performance of the recon in relation to other boats on the market and its specific performance characteristics on the water. about me: my stats: 6'1", 180lbs without gear.
