Zen 3.0 takes note of Hero Series and combines that knowledge with previous Zen designs to produce a shorter, lighter boat that stays on top of the water, has a ton of initial stability, and lifts easily over waves, holes, and rocks. It’s a dry, confidence-inspiring ride that doesn’t get grabbed in swirlier situations. It’s great for beginners, but also for some of the biggest, most chaotic rivers
