i found the techno excellent on any wavelike feature and especially so on surf. It,s probably the fastest non surf specific boat out there. i believe corran's original prototypes were far more radical and closer to a true surf kayak. As far as playboating is concerned it depends on whether you are using tried and tested moves or trying new ones. i found when trying new moves the forks were very unforgiving and made it very difficult to learn. A further problem is the weakness associated with the forks. I split mine by hitting the water doing a seal launch from a ten foot drop. Fortunately, it was still under warranty and riot replaced it no problem.
