is the Zelezny Igo a good play boat for some one who is just getting into play boating

I've had one for half a year now and it's ace.
it makes moves a lot easier to handle and goes onto the tail really easily.
the only down side was the real low tech backrest.
it was solid and gave me back pains when doing tail squirts but the boat comes fitted with ratchets so i pulled out the old backrest and after some tampering with a mates unwanted dagger g-force backrest and part of a roof tie i soon sorted that out.
the boat's real good for working out how to do moves due to it's eas in going onto it's I tend to switch between it and my rainbow ninja which has a bit more volume in it to improve technique.
the thing looks ace (it has eyes!!) pulles moves ace and is cheap as....
i paddle it down scottish rivers and abuse it quite a bit and so far haven't had a hole so even though it looks thin and weak it's actually quite strong.
i think it's a really good choice.

just thinking about gettin in an igo and their was one thing that was bothering me. the deck size.
wondering if you could help

my backrest is still holding strong after 7 years.

boat is really easy to get vertical in both directions. only problem i find with cartwheeling is that the stern is so low volume that it sinks quite deep, and that makes it harder to make the transition to the next half of the cartwheel.

cockpit is quite large. similar to pyranha playboats is my rough guess.
