I do like the S6X and Kingpin though. But as pointed out previously, the Air will out-do the rest of the short boats when it comes to carving and speed. We have a puny Cl II wave/hole that no one but me carves back and forth for any length of time. My buddy can surf the shi$ on the shoulder in his EZ but can't cartwheel or loop it due to the shallowness. The Air does both with ease. Bow/stern stalls, flatwater...piece of cake.

I did a couple miles of fw on Lake Pactola in SD last month just cause I was there, had my boat, the water was fine, didn't seem at all sluggish. It ain't no rec boat but it wasn't any big deal to paddle fw either.

Try the Air.
