Ok, so I probably know the answer is the new Super Fun, but I already tried that one and it's kind of a tank when it comes to play.

I have been using an Airhead.

I just tried a RAD 195.

I thought the Airhead and the RAD were both right on the edge of my comfort zone as far as footroom.  I deal with foot pain in both, but not considerable pain.  Mostly just funny callouses on my toes and the like.  I still think both of them were too small in the footroom department for me.  I have a 36 inch inseam and size 14 feet.  It makes finding a boat a whole lot of fun.

Ok, so I loved how I fit in the Super Fun, but it's way too fricken huge.  I don't think I could muscle it around in a hole the way I would like. 

So, I'm thinking there has to be a happy medium somewhere.  Here are the boats I think might fit the bill.

Vision Bigfoot
Large Fluid Flirt
4 Fun
Large Nemesis (if it ever makes it here)
Large Fluid Spice
Largest Project

Ok, any of these beat out the RAD 195 or Airhead?
