after paddling a riot inferno a while ago i instantly felt comfortable something i have never felt in my full tilt i had a play and it just felt perfect to me

however there seems to be a lack of these anywhere (especially in my fairly low price range)

so does anyone know of anything similar to this boat i could look at?

cheers guys i know you can help

To me, every American-made boat except Jackson have narrower thigh braces, which makes them more comfortable for me. What causes discomfort in your Full Tilt?

its more the fact that i don't feel comfortable paddling it like i don't really have full control and i just cant seem to dial into it whereas when i paddled the inferno it felt perfect and i found my self venturing into stoppers i normally only look at and wonder

You may also want to check out the Bliss-Sticks and the Wave Sports, since both have adjustable thigh braces that can rotate, and WS has great outfitting. I don't know about Bliss-Stick, but I haven't seen any complaints.

i agree, both wave sport and bliss-sticks are great boats i paddle a bliss-stick rad 175 and it is by far the best boat ive ever played in. im pretty small so i fit in the wave sport project 45....which is a great playboat series as well : ]

Just look for a kayak with low volume ends and high volume in the middle, like the Dagger Kingpin . Also, a Crazy 88 would work pretty well.

Possibly a Bliss-Stick Flip-Stick, as well as the Fluid Flirt and Fluid Nemesis. A Liquid Logic Vision should also work. The Fluid models from last year are 40% off in the US, but I don't know if it is the same in the UK. In reality, just about any modern playboat should be fine. Stay out of the Riot Disco era and you should be fine. Finally, demo as many as you can, from other paddlers and local stores.
