I am new to the sport and am looking at gettting my first boat. I'm 5'10" 240lbs. I am looking at a Jackson superfun and a Wavesport fuse 64. And advice would be greatly appreciated

I've been paddling a Fuse 64 for a year now and I like it a lot. If you are looking for a all-around boat, it's great. A good riverrunner and still pretty playful.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the Superfun either. I just haven't paddled one. From what I understand, it is a bit more in the direction of a playboat?

As always try to demo both models and maybe even a few others. That's the best way to find out what you like.

I personaly would go with the large pyrahna burn or the large fluid solo had both boats and loved them

Check out this article I wrote, might help you:

Note that Fluid has changed it's outfitting now and I should really update that article... Match your boat to the kind of water you'll be paddling, or what you intend to paddle

Thanks Man your article really describe the basic rules interms of a kayaks models... it really tells the do and donts for abeginners like my self... once again thanks Man

Great! Happy to hear it was useful

I tried out both of these boats when I as looking for one myself. I'm a bit taller and lighter than you are, and I didn't sit comfortably in the Fuse, the front of the boat was pressing against my legs. If you're a bit shorter it might fit you perfectly. The Superfun is a monster, it's the largest playboat thing I've seen and in fact in felt so wide that I had to start paddling a bit different/wider to not hit the boat the whole time. it's a nice design though, and I'm pretty sure I would have been throwing it arround eventually. Myself, I went for a Fluid Flirt in the end (Nemesis wasn't for sale yet plus I really wanted a boat that would be kind to me on the river a bit, the stern of the Nemesis is flatter and less volumous than that of the Flirt), I seriously love that boat. It fits, it floats and I can throw it arround just fine. It is a tad less of a river runner than both the Fuse and the Fun though, it's quite slow and definately not the easiest boat to roll (quite broad and not very round), but that last one is really the only thing that bothers me even a bit about it. If you're completely new to the sport the bit extra riverrunning you get with the Fun might suit you better, the Fuse is probably a bit in between these two, less volume than the Fun, more speed than the Flirt.
