3 types of reviewers
Posted by: mintjulep on Oct-09-12 9:53 AM (EST)

There are basically three types of reviewers:

Super-enthusiastic newbies. They are just so happy to be in a kayak that everything is great. And they have no experience, have paddled only "their" boat and don't know what is important. They rate 10 out of 10 always.

Just bought a new boat. Paid a lot of money and not willing to admit that it is anything but the perfect boat. They rate 10 out of 10 always.

The experienced paddlers who just go paddle. They don't post reviews.
