I'm with Tad on this one. The I20 is a steamroller. Solid, stable and quick. The chute is a handfull for the crew, unlikely a female can take it. Very predictable in largeish surf. Great boat!
Females do just fine just ask my wife, easily on par with some of the male crews I've had on the front of the boat. But, the front of the boat will give you a workout and at the end of the day it is a boy boat.
