I'm thinking of getting back into kayaking after a decade of not really boating. I've done a few Westwater trips and local town runs occasionally, but no play boating or creek boating. I had some shoulder issues and got married and had a son and kayaking kind of fell by the wayside.
My playboat is a Pyranna Sub 8. Decent hull shape, but I hate the outfitting and it is easily 12 years old. In order to fit in it I have the seat slammed all the way back, and that makes it squirrelly in surging water, but it front surfs great. I'm looking for more of a fast river running boat with a planing hull for surfing and flat spins. I'm 6'4" and about 230lbs and was looking at the axiom 9.
Does anyone here have any opinion of this boat? Opinions of similar boats? I'm not interested in play boats or river running creekers like the Mamba.
Thanks
