stick with the fun, advertised as it is as a riverrunning boat, it still makes a exceptionally good playboat, you should b able to cartwheel it around on the flat with few problems (with some luck and a lotta practice) you'll probably find it even easier to throw round than a skip, also it's a lot more forgiving - the skip has very hard edges.
Though go out and try a skip, by all means you may like it.
