Great downriver playboat

I picked this up after a year of getting lazy in a Superfun. The more aggresive paddling style required spanked me back into shape at first. Now that I'm more on top of it I really enjoy the boat. It has good ferry speed and carves up a wave like mad. I see it as sort of a cross between a booster and an air. I paddled a booster 60 for a couple of years ago and the nitro looses a little stabilty, but makes up for it with much greater response to body input. I have to keep up my guard more than with some other boats, but pays off with big fun factor as a result. I'm no full on playboater, but I can feel a roundhouse coming, which will lead to blunts. A friend that is much more skilled than I pumped it into a bow stall on faltwater with ease. I did have to remove the thigh hooks and footbrace to get comfortable in the boat and still don't like Riot's...
