Playboat? 16 years 7 months ago #22926

jBlo Topic Author Offline Junior Member Posts: 10 Thank you received: 0	I'm currently paddling a G-force 6.1 . However I struggle with controlling it. If I'm not perfectly balanced in it either the frount or back end will dig in and the boat will go vertical. Moving the seat either way or tilting my weight either direction just exaggerated the problem that way. Does anyone else have this problem. I'm 75kg and 180cm

even though your in the limits of the boat, your topping it out, and your only option may be to get a bigger boat with some more volume. Try this though: next time your out on the wave, instead of leaning back in the boat to keep the front end from going under, push out your chest army style, and lean forward just a bit. You should feel a tightness in your hip and groin area and your knees will lift up, keeping you better balanced and lifting your bow. (the theory is that it engages your hip flexors). I'd test something else out though with more volume.

at 165 lbs.. you would be too small for the agent 6.4 and EZG 60, I would look for something within 49-54 gallon ranges. such as a JK Allstar or agent 6.2, which that range, even though your G-force is at 49 gallons it's probably hull design. The dagger playboats are generally better in a hole than on a wave, especially with the earlier models of the kingpin, g-force, and crazy 88.. I know they have a tendency to pearl in a wave, and it doesn't make it easier that your topping the boat out. Your best bet is to try your technique, the leaning thing I said and trying to use your hip flexors and muscles to bring the bow up instead of your weight. Good luck.
