The S6f 192 is a little harder but once you got the hang of it easy and flat water loops a treat as does the G-force. I found the s6f comfier a freind found the Gforce comfier we could both do the same tricks on flat or moving water.

The 6 has slightly more volume around the knees and in the back so it pops out really well for loops etc but has been discontinued. G force still being sold in britain with basic but effective outfittings around £500

If your looking at the 191 it will be easier to throw around than the 192 but a bit more cramped and is more similar in size range to the 5.9 Gforce

Horses fir courses n all that

Have fun

I've been paddling a s6f192 for the past 6months til I got my new boat. Its a good stable forgiving boat I think. May be a little too much for someone just starting out, but if you are a quick learner and have some people to give you advice should be ok. Its not as fast as the later boats as it has a smaller flat section to its hull I think it also lacks volume in the tail area but I'm starting to get picky.

Bottom line, good boat but are you up to it :?:

if so have fun it will do anything you ask of it.
