First of all, I am affiliated with Riot, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
I got to paddle a superstar briefly. Not a review of any sort, but a few things that struck me.
It felt very "loose" cutting across currents and eddy lines. Easy to roll.
Knees were a little more "splayed" and a little less "up" than I would ideally like, but the footroom was large.
My biggest complaint was that it took a lot to edge it. I'm used to lifting a knee and engaging an edge, but the superstar took me leaning my upper body to engage the edge. I'm 6'3" 195. The weight felt fine, I think the width of the boat made it feel that way. Maybe people who paddle it regularly can comment on whether or not you get used to the edging.
That said, when crossing eddy lines, it didn't trip, even when I didn't get the proper edge weighted.
