The New Fun floats the amazing simplicity and versatility of the classic design to the next level of performance– and in so many ways!

Just bought one, tried it out on the sea. no big waves dough.
roll so easy. I 'm a bit worried that I will neglect my rolling technic ; )
It fits and feels great.
Happy feet is great. I have verry short legs. My seat is all the way to the front, and airbag pumped up completly. I will have to test it this way. If i'm to far in front I will need to put something in front of the airbag.
Someone with the same problem?

Yeah I put foam in front of the happy feet in my All-Star. Works great.

Still love my boat.
We (www.nirjhara.tk) are planning a trip to the pyrenees in may.
i think it will mostly class III/VI.
has anyone experience with this boat on simular WW?

You should see if you can trade it in for a regular Fun. I am a current owner of a JK 4-fun as well. I'm 6'1 with 32\" inseam and at 185 lbs I thought I was perfect size for the 4-fun but I too had to pump up my happy feet all the way. Last couple times in the pool I found myself leaving my boat and getting into the Fun, because it was smaller and more responsive I began finding out that my boat was too big for me. You should consider the option of trading or somehow getting into the Fun, at least try it. The 4-fun is a great boat, but the Fun will handle you just as well I promise, and fit you better.

Would you not be afraid that the loss of volume would become a problem if you use a FUN in stead of a 4FUN, when you paddle class IV rivers?

not at all! After some time spent on the river, the size of the features you can handle will increase. On the JK website The FUN shows it has a river running paddler weight of up to 175 lbs! Yes, being in a smaller boat will toss you around a little more and some of those class III and IV features will make you flip until you have your skills honed in, but if you have a solid roll, it's no issue. I've seen some wicked footage of kayakers handling class IV and V in playboats with no problem.

Well my main point is that it's better to have a boat that is most suitable for your needs, (you mentioned your seat was all the way up and happy feet pumped all the way up) if you wanted to play some and do some freestyle as well as do run the river, go with the fun. If you want to hit class IV rapids as much as you can get the 4-fun, or a creek boat. If you want to park and play, get an Allstar.

Me, I plan on playing a little more but will definately be running the river in my new playboat.

I loved my 4-fun, but what I loved even more was having the control and ability to throw down what I wanted in the FUN.

anyone has any experience on class IV rivers with 4Fun?
