The perfect big guy boat!
About myself
The comfort level was unbelievable. Being 6'5 and 245
lbs and a shoe size of 14-15, it has always been hard
to find a boat that is playful, buoyant and has a
large enough inseam, but the super fun has all of
those.
About the test environment
All right, so i finally got a chance to take the super
fun on some decent moving water today. The Vermilion
river in Illinois is class I-IV depending on the
season and has a lot of different water all through
out the length of it.
Review
I was very impressed with how
well it handles when i take it over falls, playing in
holes was a blast because of the flat hull and i was
able to spin right out when i got done. It was also a
lot more stable than i was expecting. I always caught
water on the stern of my other boats when i was
leaving an eddy and became a bit unstable and started
to tip backwards, but not with the super fun. When i
did fall back, i wasn't worried at all because it
would flatten out right when i wanted it to. It also
tracks remarkably well for a flat hull and no skeg or
lines, which i was a bit worried about. was also a
blast to play under the falls and be able to so easily
pull enders. i have never been able to do that, and
am slowly getting better and better. Never really
having surfed in hydrolics before either, mainly
because my other boats weren't able to very well, that
was by far the most relaxing and fun part of the day.
I was out from 11:30 today until 5:00 playing
and it was by far the most absolutely comfortable boat
that i have ever been in before. Also, the neat thing
about it i didn't know until a few days ago when i was
out with my cousin, who is a drinker, is that between
the seat and the sides, there are 2 holders for
bottles of beer, maybe not beer exactly, but 2 bottles
of beer fit in them perfectly. The water bottle
bolder between the legs is also great because it is
not in the way at all, and it held my nalgene bottle
in even at one point when i had to swim.
Conclusion
All in all, i am very happy with the boat and have not
found any problems or cons yet with it. being so
light also, it is very easy when i have to portage
over rocks. It is the perfect boat for the taller guy!
