How much playboating? A boat like the Jackson Hero should work if you just want to surf, but beyond that, I would look into a river running playboat like the Jackson Fun, WS Fuse, etc.

If you like WS boats, I would look more at the Diesel, because it's going to be easier to paddle, but you can still surf and spin well, and can creek in it. The only problem with a river-running playboat is that you will eventually want to creek more or play more. I have a Solo S and Project 52 because of this (and because I basically got a pro-deal on the 52 :) )
