	RPM paddlers didn't like the Slice,  ForPlay or other rodeo boats of that era, at first.     There is a reason nobody paddles XXX, ForPlay, Slice, Glide, etc. etc. anymore.   The benefits of a longer boat were no match for the benefits of an easier to paddle, hop off the water, do it all boat. The Super Star, for example- the latest greatest in playboats your size,  won't paddle at all like a Slice.    that is good.  The most common thing people do who have paddled the same boat for a really long time, is to look for a boat that does exactly what their boat did, but in a new package.   There is no reason to switch if that is the goal. The reasons to get a new boat are: 1.  Break your plateau and learn new stuff. 2.  improve comfort, ease of paddling, and potential. how do you paddle a Super Star compared to a Slice?   First off, until you do a loopdy doop, don't assume you won't want to do one!   If you paddle a Slice, doing a loop, macho move, or any other flippy move is so hard that the best boaters didn't do them much if at all in that boat.    Also- the Slice is a great boat for front surfing around on a wave and it carves well, but isn't each to get off the water.    A 4 Fun isn't a rodeo boat- it is a river runner first playboat second.  while is plays awesome,  you will improve your playboating the fastest in a Super Star, a full on rodeo boat. You may be able to find a 2007 (new model) Super Star for sale somewhere.  They are fairly hard to find though. :) EJ
