need help finding a kayak/kingpin 6.3 20 years 4 months ago #1030

I need some help finding a playboat. i have been paddling a method madness for about a year and i have got fustrated in not being able to do much without increasing my weight! I am about 6"1, and growing, and am about 180lb.

I have looked at the kingpin icon 6.3 but can anybody tell me whether it would be suitable for playing as i am just about the intermediate level. Or could you sugest an alternative solution, i have heard that the blisstick rad 185 may be suitable or the jackson 4fun.

Many thanks in advance

I am 6'4", size 11 shoes, 36" inseam and about 82 kilo's (not sure how many pounds that is but somehwere near 180) and I fit great in a G-Force 6.3. Perhaps this is another option to have a look at?

As for experience: I am a beginning/low intermediate playboater (lots of canoe polo experience but I got into freestyle only very recently) and like the G-Force a lot. BTW: the Kingpin Icon is a lot more luxurious than the G-Force. The outfitting in the G-Force is a lot simpler but then again, they are a lot cheaper overhere and nothing a little foam and glue won't fix :D

Just my 2 cents,

Michiel
