ADVICE ON BOAT SELECTION

What makes a boat better for playboating use? They are much shorter than a normal river boat, allowing for greater manoeuvrability and have low volume "slicey" ends for minimal resistance when cutting through the water. Adjustable fittings that mean the paddler can get a snug fit for greater control. Fast, planing hulls are good for surfing and spinning, and aggressive edges for carving.

For around £550 you can get a pretty good playboat. The Dagger G Force is available in 3 different sizes with all the design features you need to do what you want in the water.

If you are looking for a playboat with top of the line fittings and lightweight construction for optimum performance, why not take a look at the Wavesport Project or Pyranha REV, both top end models available in 3 sizes with high spec fittings that offer great comfort and control.

The Riot Astro comes in two sizes, and is designed for high performance, super-responsive playboating.

Good outfitting is essential in a playboat, and we have everything you need. Kayak airbags, boat bits, a huge variety of paddles, spraydecks, repair kits, and everything else you might want to put in your boat can be found on the Canoeing and Kayaking Equipment page.
