The Ultimate Playboat
What’s the “ultimate” playboat? It’s the one that plays best at every feature the river has to offer so no matter what the conditions, you’re in the perfect boat! Whether on big waves, small waves, in a hole, or just in a pool you want to play hard and we do too.
The new stars mix wave-surfing and hole-riding features into the Ultimate combination and will be Team JK’s freestyle machine for 2007, 2008, and 2009.
Fast and Loose yet Friendly: The right mix of speed, carving, spinnability, and user friendliness is achieved! We added a big dose of speed to the 2007 Stars but kept plenty of rocker for worry-free backsurfing and trouble-free landings.
Launches in holes: We took the boat that re-defined ‘huge’ and made it go even bigger.
More comfort: Increased leg and foot room makes this one plush ride – even for slightly larger paddlers.
Lighter Weight: the lightest playboats went on a diet in 2007! Look for 1 pound less weight the New Stars.
I can’t tell you how proud I am of the new Star series. More importantly, I can’t tell you how excited I am to paddle them! Reserve yours today.

If you want a perfect playboat check this out!!
About myself
I'm about 5ft 6/7 and am 130 lbs. In the past i have had difficulty in finding boats which i could initiate in flat water, which were fast on waves etc.
About the test environment
The test enviroments were hurley weir on two gates, and a pourover hole as well as a smaller, green hole.
Review
First impressions were excellent, the back grab handle is an improvement on the classic star series. and sitting in it was like a sofa, it is incredibly light too.
On a wave it is super fast, Within 20 minutes i was firing up huge air blunts and a kind of weird air blunt/ donkey flip combo!!!!
In the hole cleans were easy and it loops really easily. tricky woos were second nature to this boat. On the flat it was fantasticly easy to cartwheel splitwheel clean and even flatwater mc. nasty!!! with ease!!!
Conclusion
I would strongly recommend this boat as it is suitable for any small build person who wants to do freestyle and learn more at the same time. I could n't fault this boat as it was easy to roll, fast, slicey, bouncy, explosive and smooth. GREAT BOAT!!!!!
