I've been paddling a Riot Slice for wayyyyyyy toooooo long. The other weekend I was able to paddle a Jackson 4Fun and had a blast. But, I felt it was a bit out of control on a wave and piggish getting out the eddy. I'll be the first to attribute some of the handling to pilot error, but after spending some time at a good wave, I decided that its just not as crisp on a wave as I like. Also, I don't  really care for hole playing so don't really care about doing the latest loopdy loop.


What are some other recently made boats that have a good carving ability, but don't feel like a pig to paddle? Also the boat needs to fit a human male that is 5' 11'' 185 lb size 11 feet and be made within the last 2 years so I can buy one on the used boat market.



Oh yeah, anybody want to buy a riot slice and a prijon rockit?
