Hey guys. I'm in my second season of paddling and most of paddling (95% of it) has been done at Charlotte's Whitewater Center (or "cement pond" if you will- ha). I've been paddling the old Dagger RPM for a year now and I'm comfortable w/ river running; however, I really want to learn how to playboat this summer. Obviously, I'm going to demo some boats, but I'd appreciate any advice someone could offer me as far as a good playboat for a beginner. I'm 6'2" about 195lbs, 34w, w/ size 11.5 feet. I'm considering the Dagger Agent 6.4, Jackson 4Fun or the Wavesport Project 62.

Also- if anyone has one of these boats for sale and lives near NC- let me know. I'd be willing to drive up to 2 hours for the boat (from Charlotte, NC). Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer a newbie!
