I have Kingpin for third season now and I love it, because in a way, it's a great all round boat, not just super-specialized playboat for big waves. It also depends where you paddle and what you paddle on daily basis.

MAybe it was just the paddler, but i was pretty amazed.

They just have good rocker for a wave. the wave rocker does'nt affect hole surfing. I'm pretty sure looping is a hole move only or at least under most circumstances and that boat LOOPS. Also it's side walls are nicely shaped for holes. It is really fast!! nathan

Yes, they're quite different.
The ZG is much faster and edgier- whether this is good or bad is probably a matter of your own preference and style. I thought the zg was much more fun than the Kingpin, although I thought they each had their strengths.

The kingpin planes up quickly and can tumble any which way in the hole, but is slooow and carving was a joke- it just slid.
The ZG is much more performant, but less forgiving. I liked the balance in bow:stern volume distribution: I could cartwheel the ZG smoothly where the Kingpin had an off-balance 'galloping' cadence due to the imbalanced bow:stern volume.

Which is best for you? tough to say. :ask:
