    Hey paddle a wavesport X. Its a pretty old boat but its real good fun to paddle. pretty good on the river and not too hard to paddle on flatwater either. thinking of upgrading thoughany suggestions on what would be good. Paddle rivers(nothin too mad), Flat water, and surf. I'm about 175Lbs and just over 6ft. Strong build so need plenty of room(wavesport is a bit of a squeeze!

    What about a jackson super hero - I have a classic for sale @ € 550
    What makes this a Super Hero? For Medium to Large boaters to paddle rivers upright and in control, drop through their favorite creeks, surf those hard to catch waves, or handle big water on the surface

    What do you get with the Super Hero? Speed, strength, lasting power, comfort, stability, ease of rolling, and great looks are just the start.



    Run anything, pack some gear, and enjoy the confidence this river running/creek boat offers. While the Fun is your best combination of river running/play this boat is your best combination of river running/creeking. Designed to handle the largest diversity of water possible it will not let you down anywhere you decide to go. Low draft, long lines means it handles shallow water without bottoming out and stays fast. Volume is designed to keep you on the surface and upright in big water or at the bottom of drops. This boat has no match in speed at 8' in length either, so whether you are doing a big ferry, a long flat-water paddle out of your favorite river or trying to beat your paddling buddy to the takeout, you'll have an ace in the hole!

    I wouldn't really recommend the hero if you're only doing grade three or less, and it wouldn't be much use for surf. That said for bigger water it's an absolutely savage boat, I paddle a sidekick myself :)

    Hi,

    I am trying to decide between a Jackson Sidekick and Little Hero, upsizing from an InaZone 212. I am 5' and 50Kg so I am within the weight range for both. How do you find the sidekick in grade 4 water?

    I had a sit in a little hero in iCanoe and thought it was a bit big in front of the cockpit.

    You are the exact same height and weight as me. I would definitely go for a sidekick. Finding one in Ireland would be the problem. Maybe ask ICanoe
