any advice on a new boat for flat water freestyle, good in holes and waves and would also survive a grade 4 trip or two?

interested in a cople of boats like:
liquid logic vision 44
wavesport zg
and other similar boats.
(i am 66Kg / 146 Lb)

Maybe they'll help a little. It's tempting to buy a new boat in the hope that it will cure your problems, but this is often not the case. Keep trying and don't give up. Maybe a new boat would help, I don't know. I have never paddled the Blitz. Good luck. ;-) [/color:849d1dd531]

Get a cheap second hand one and keep the bliss stick for the grade 4 stuff. The smallest boat (volume wise) you can fit in is best for learning the flat-water-freestyle tricks. Boats like the ego or the dominatrix, with there slicey ends and a bit longer, are really good for cartwheels. If you want to go for loops try something like a robson TT, kingpin or Perception Spin etc.. They are all affordable.

both.
club meats weekly at a lake but go on a few trips a year with them. (grade 3/4)
also want to take it to playspots (wiers/waves/holes but nothing too big - not that there is much big in England anyway!)

In that case the vision series look like a really good split between hole and ewave boat thats still a good river rnner. Another good choic could be the flair serie from Riot or the fun series fro JK. Im not sure how comfortable you are running calss four in a pure playbaot so some of the above i mentioned are sort of verry play inc,lined river runners. the project series from Wavesport or the Zg would also be good bets. If a vision is in the are id look into a demo. Never padleed one but they look fun :roflol:
