The Bowstall and the flatwater loop for Jackson4Fun is possible?

bowstall... very possible, better with the new Funs. Flatwater loop...not so much. A shorter boat is better for it.

bowstall sure is possible, i've seen people flatwater loop funs as well, but it takes more practise. It sure would be easier to try looping a shorter boat, like the allstar :)

flatwater looping is definitely possible, just make sure that you're too big for the boat... I'm 6'4\" 190 lbs, and when I squeeze myself into a Jackson Fun, looping is no problem. A 4Fun might pose a little more of a problem...

Yes. Both are possible. Shorter sterns make flatwater loops easier, but not neccessarily more controllable. If it's under 7' long you can learn to flatwater loop it. And, with the right hole you can loop a boat up to 13' long, just takes practice.

As far as anyone ever telling you that one of these shorter boats CAN'T do a modern trick, then you have to consider why someone would say something so absolute, when the truth is a matter of shades of gray, degrees of difficulty, and differences in technique.

Enjoy your boat. A friend of mine hasone and likes it.

Of course u can get a bow stall and loop from a Jackson4Fun, thats what boats like that were designed for!! Of course these moves will take a bit extra skill on flatwater but it just takes practice!!
