Hi
My names Lydia and i'm currently looking for a new boat
i'm 5"1' and weigh about 100lbs of 45kg

i'm looking for a river running boat that has a loose hull - like the Liquid Logic Lil' Joe - but smaller. As i'm 14, i'm really not sure whether to go down the play boat/freestyle route as a lot of my friends have...or to get a river runner first. :unsure:

so yeah...any comments/advice welcome

thankss :)

Try a Playboat and see how it goes


Not sure how comfortable you are on the river, or your exact skill level But I would suggest a playboat, you can challenge your peers(unspoken) and learn more. Eventually, you shouldnt have a need for a river runner, because you can do it all in a play boat!

i would suggest looking into the Fun series by jackson. you could probably fit into either the 2fun or fun 1 1/2. this will allow you to do some river running and some playboating to find out what you are good at and what you like better.
