I've only had a test run in the Xcite for a day along the coasts of Jersey earlier this year. I loved how it responded and it's primary stability.
It tracks really well but I lack a bit of speed. I'm thinking about the Evoke, being the slightly shorter and faster version of the Xcite. It still holds enough storage for a week long paddle.
I currently own a Rockpool Taran 16 (is up for sale) which compared to the Tiderace Pace17, the Xcite and Evoke is a twitchy piece of kit.
