The Big wheel has really opened up some worlds for me, especially in the wave surfing realm. It is so precise edge to edge that doing blunts, back stabs, donkey flips, and even helixes much more attainable. It keeps the loopability of the Space Cadet and adds hull speed and slicier ends, which make it easier to cartwheel and trap the bow for Flatwater loops. I have only looked at the new boat - the vision. It looks like a wave monster and even more cartwheelable. I am a one of the LL faithful but they have to whole package - outfitting, design, and non coporate.

It is something that I am sure has already crossed your mind but I thought that I would throw it out there anyways. After paddling the Kingpin 6.2 for the last two years my paddling ability has skyrocketed. There is a reason that you see so many on the river that it seems like a fad, It works. Endless wheels, loops and effortless surf are guaranteed with a little effort and a Kingpin. And in response to the post by Marv, You shouldn't even be in a playboat if you are satisfied with an EZ, I paddled one for 2 years and most people progress beyond slow jerky wheel and crappy outfitting that you seem to enjoy. Take some pride in your sport and at the very least support a paddler based company in Jackson kayak instead of the uninspirational corporate beast that is Wavesport. I have only paddled the Jackson Allstar but it was a hoot. Happy Paddling Chris
