New Play Boat 14 years 8 months ago #30018

Hello my name is Jack and I am looking for a new play boat, I am currently and have been paddling a dagger juice 6.9 now I’m starting to learn tricks and I want something shorter, the dagger has been a brilliant learning aid but now I just need something to help me get my ends down easier. Any advice or tips and boat surjection’s will be welcomed with open arms. I and 5 foot 9 inches and way around 75kg,

Thank you for reading Jack

If you want to stick to the Dagger-family, try the Kingpin or the Agent. Both good boats. With the Wavesport Project you can't go wrong aswell. Very nice boat for learning tricks after the Juice.
But there are now more modern playboats on the market, like the Pyranha Molan or the Jackson Allstar. That will be a big step after the Juice and will take more time to get used to like the Project for example.
Good luck with your decesion!

The Juice 69 is one of the easiest boats to learn to cartwheel in, due to its slicey ends. It can be frustrating until you get your head around the cartwheel but once you can cartwheel the juice it will be an easier progression to other moves.

To help get the boat working for you get the seat trimmed forward to make the front engage more easily then work on your double pump you should be able to keep that boat going allday I am 70kgs and 5ft 7 so practice practice practice
