From: I_LOVE_WOMBATS

Ok, so i have been boating for about a year and a half, and am fairly good considering i currently live in Southern Illinois.  I currently paddle a Jackson Fun Classic.  I would not say that i have any play boating skills.  I can front surf fairly well on most any wave (hell hole is my favorite).  Now, what I am asking advice for is the type of boat i should buy.  I want to develop my play boating skills, but at the same time i am moving to either NC or TN (in the next couple years depending on jobs) and want to paddle bigger water and get some creeking in.  So I am not sure if a Fun Classic would allow for some rodeo skill development and as such should get a creek boat or if I should just get a playboat, and get started runnin creeks in my Fun?  ANyway I would appreciate some positive feedback.- Peace, Dudeman
