	I'm currently paddling an Ego (for the past 2 years) at 175lbs and 6'0" with size 10.5 plates I'm a wee tad big for it but it helped me learn how to cartwheel. I can't bow stall it though.  I know everyone is going with shorter these days but there is no way I can do any of those donkey flippy ma loopery kickery things.  I'll be happy to learn to bow stall this summer with a blunt or two on a green wave thrown in. I've been trying to stall with the ego for a while and just can't find that balance point.  When the Ace came out I demoed one and found it very stable on end.  Out of all the boats I have demoed (thats a lot of boats) I found the Ace to be the one I would most likely learn to bow stall with. I did have a shot of the S6 and liked that, but I didn't spend long enough in it really feel what it could do.  I don't think it would stall as easily as the 5.1. Dude, what am I thinking.  Do I really need a new boat to learn the technique.  Am i that useless despite over 11 years of boating! Doh! what to do. Hummm. Steve
