Does anyone have any experiences with these boats and can tell me wich one is better for play,river-running,big water, surf, rollability and stababiltiy, and wich one is faster just for paddeling.

Thanks!

Hay dude.
Firstly i own a fluid flirt. teach from a spice. and am currently bowwing a jackson fun while i wait for my boats to turn up in canada.

so here goes

The Flirt is an awsome all around playboat / river runner. it is even in rocker and asemetrical. meaning: it doesnt squirt when you are river running and is very predictable. although it is still good to throw down ends with as the nose and tail have not much volume in them. Oh and it carves good and is GREAT for the beach!

The Spice: more a river runner than playboat although it is possible to do moves in. designed to have more speed and also does not squirt much. it has a flat hull so you can still spin it. very nice carvy boat!!

The Fun: not bad for playboating but not real good for river runnning. the tail is just WAY to small. you spend all your time looking at the sky. has a big nose so its hard'ish to throw down. but the hull is pretty sweet for waves.

So take what you will

Note: yes i paddle for fluid...but i come from a teaching background and beleive strongly on getting people into a boat that will suit them...not selling them somthing they are going to hate and tell all their frinds about!!

good luck dude

How is the spice and the flirt for rollability. I heard there pretty bad, but I dont know. Thanks for all the info so far

They are simple to roll. Especially the Spice. No worries at all. The Spice is a river runner but with more emphasis on river running. Great boat for running rivers and the occassional play spot. Not half as nippy and loose on a wave as the Flirt but then again it wasn't designed to be. The Spice would naturally be faster and hold a line better. With a higher parting line it is not as edgy. I have paddled all of the Flirts and Spices in all the sizes.

Try them out. You'll like them no doubt.
