Lots of boats go with the One boat does it all stamp. The Fun is aimed at this market. It's predicable and stable but also very playful. The thing surfs like a dream and can pull off all the new moves. I was slightly wary about taking such a small boat down the river but with good forward technique it's very predictable. If you start to slouch though it'll have you. The Fun loves to go verticle...even if you don't! On the ocena wave it's great fun but can be bouncy and perhaps too playful when things get big. If you're confident in surf though it'll have you grinning ear to ear. In summary I'd say very good all-rounder but if you're starting out it will lead to a failry steep learning curve due to its playful nature. However when that learning curve starts to plateaux you'll be very glad you choose it. The outfitting is typical Jacskon. Unique approach. You'll love it or hate it. It's easy to change and personally I think it's a stonishingly comfortable.

About Me
Intermediate Paddler.
Pros / The Good
Very very light. Very comfortable. Great all round design.
Cons / The Bad
Pricey. The classic version doesn't seem very strong but then it is incredibly light so it's a trade off as much as a negative.
