hi if your looking on a budjet then robson twintip xs looks quite good im 12 and currently have a wavesport zg 48 which is a great boat and quite slicey the only thing is im 5ft 4 and 53kg so im a bit bigger than him but personly id go with the jackson star as the only thing that stoped me buying it is that i have size 10 feet so im to big for it and to small for the all star i went to try out a project but its more of an aerial boat and didn't have the sliceyness of the zg and the zg carves a lot better the others i considered (belive be i spent a good few months on the comp looking for a good playboat) were the dagger g-force 5.9 and the fluid nemesis s, hope u find a good boat.

BTW, what is a Dagger Chimp? I can't find it on the Playak database, and not if I Google it. Shot.
