Hey, am I the only one bummed out by the new Jackson Fun line not including a Super Fun? Sure, you can buy the old version, but after reading what EJ says about the improvements in the 2010 line, why in the world would you? I want a downriver boat that will float my weight that I can play with when I want to, not a freestyle boat that will float me downriver.

They also didn't release a shooting star with the star series. I'm not sure if this is because they figure the new star is small enough for kids or what?

I'd say really small kids kayaks and kayaks for the larger paddler are quite a limited market. And they are only one brand in the market. To release a very large kayak and a very small kayak in every range is a pretty big risk I think. I think they're doing a smart thing offering kayaks for all shapes of people, but being realistic about the fact that it's a very limited market. As you said, a larger paddler can still get the old Super Fun. They also released a Mon-Star that wasn't available in the old line, so it's not like they've forgot about the bigger people out there.

I wouldn't discount the mon-star just yet. Looking at the Jackson website, the old sueperfun's volume is 70 gallons. The 2010 Mon-Star is 72-3/4 gallons.

Personally, I really don't think there's really a difference between paddling a playboat and a river running playboat. If it's not safe to paddle a playboat down, then it's not going to be safe in a 'river running play boat'.

Buy yourself a nice squirt boat!

im sure they will probably release the super fun by the middle of next season

No, at least not now. The Super Fun is not slated for an upgrade for 3 years! I guess that means it will have a new form with the 2013 Fun line.
