I will not go into detail and chew other products from other companies apart instead I will point out the advantages of a Jackson 4Fun to you for the steep learning curve you may be looking for.  First and foremost I would go to lengths to actually picking up a Jackson 4Fun in one hand and any other brand you may be interested in, in the other hand and notice the difference in the weight "first hand" for yourself!  Secondly try spinning into elevated cartwheels and see if you notice the tripping up of your chines turning your elevated spins into endless windowshades, again something you will enjoy about the progressive lines of a 4Fun compared to any other brands.

I personally also like the lines on the hulls of the Fun series compared to other brands because when I am straight surfing on a wave and I cut from one side of the wave to the other I can activate the line along the hull of the Jackson 4Fun and stop it in exactly the spot on the wave.  When I try to stop other brands in a spot on a wave I did notice that it keeps sliding, drifting or in other words slipping and I would have to aggressively have to edge onto my hip to slow it down and would never have the the same stopping sensation I would have with the 4Fun stopping on a dime in the exact position on a wave, and then setting up to launch my move or trick.

And now too further the process of breaking a complex topic or substance into smaller parts to gain a better understanding of what an amazing whitewater product that the 4Fun is to the end user looking to better his or her skills in whitewater playboating. I would also go to great lengths to educate yourself on the interior of the JK 4Fun Kayak and fully understand how to "(PROPERLY ADJUST THE SEAT PAD AND FOOT BAG AREA)" and thus you will notice the superior product that the JK company is producing.

Signed some dude who has paddled all the products mentioned in this thread so far,
Sincerely,
WhitewaterBoy
