  1. But also:

    I feel I want to try bigger, harder runs again soon. And then I'll want a boat that is more forgiving.

    The Royal Flush does that. It may not be the greatest boat in the world; but I already own it. And also, I don't currently see any model that's hugely better.

    So I'll keep it, and hopefully take it out for a few laps soon!

  2. Ok, the real story is this:

    1. I'd been pushing to go "harder, faster" for all my paddling career. This mostly left me stressed.
    2. I realized that I'm having more fun paddling Grade III whitewater, where I have things nicely under control
    3. The Machete has enough reserves, while the half-slice tail keeps things interesting.
    4. By now, I *know* how the boat reacts. So I'm more confident and relaxed!
