[color=cyan:849d1dd531]Read through this post:
playak.com/modules.php?name=Forums&f...viewtopic&t=1062 and this one: playak.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=631 and this one too: playak.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=688 Maybe they'll help a little. It's tempting to buy a new boat in the hope that it will cure your problems, but this is often not the case. Keep trying and don't give up. Maybe a new boat would help, I don't know. I have never paddled the Blitz. Good luck.  [/color:849d1dd531] |

Get a cheap second hand one and keep the bliss stick for the grade 4 stuff. The smallest boat (volume wise) you can fit in is best for learning the flat-water-freestyle tricks. Boats like the ego or the dominatrix, with there slicey ends and a bit longer, are really good for cartwheels. If you want to go for loops try something like a robson TT, kingpin or Perception Spin etc.. They are all affordable.

both.
club meats weekly at a lake but go on a few trips a year with them. (grade 3/4) also want to take it to playspots (wiers/waves/holes but nothing too big - not that there is much big in England anyway!) |

In that case the vision series look like a really good split between hole and ewave boat thats still a good river rnner. Another good choic could be the flair serie from Riot or the fun series fro JK. Im not sure how comfortable you are running calss four in a pure playbaot so some of the above i mentioned are sort of verry play inc,lined river runners. the project series from Wavesport or the Zg would also be good bets. If a vision is in the are id look into a demo. Never padleed one but they look fun
