This is what I would consider a great beginner's playboat for the larger paddler. It is super slicey, making cartwheels easy to learn, and long enough to keep them coming.

Its length also makes it a capable river runner. I have no complaints about my Superego, and it has opened the door for playboating for me. I also found it surprisingly comfortable for a small volume boat for the larger paddlers.

The outfitting works fine, although I've had to duct tape my hip pads in.

All around I think it is the best boat to learn the basic playboating moves in.
