I'm 6' 2" and looking to get myself a playboat, I tried a jackson all star 2 weeks ago and had an awesome time in it! Does anyone have any suggestions of alternative boats. I already have a Dagger Mamba 8.0 and so I want a complete playboat, and not a play/river runner. Thanks

I my opinion the stars are the best out there. Unfortunately i dont won one. :(
They have also just announced the 2010 star available to order from 9th of june i think.
Another great playboat is the wavesport project.

Those two are the top of the range ones in Ireland!!! Thats only my opinion though and its probably better to try different kayaks to see what suits.

Hi i am 6'1 and paddle a Medium Fluid Nemesis. I am rather light as well. The Large Fluid Nemesis would be really comfy for you and if you weigh over 80kg you will wiegh enough. I way 72kg and have paddled the large. It is super comfy but I am a bit light to do flatwater things in the Large.
Try and demo if possible.

Does anyone know about the Big Dog Kaos playboat. Would this be suitable for my height?

Thanks

I dont know where your living, this is an irish site i know but towards the end of page it gives you the recommended height and weight i think. Hopefully this helps. I heard they're savage anyways....
