Squirt boating is just a more extreme version of playboating. however, the main problems that you would probably face are being pinned underwater and getting stuck in a hydraulic. The only other problem would be price and outgrowing the boat, since they sometimes only have a range of 20 lbs and/or a 2" inseam until you are needing to get a new boat. Also, they are made out of composites, which will make them more expensive.
