    I am more of a class 4 boater but I have done a fair share of 5- and got lunched by one 5. I have little interest in play boating but discovering this video has opened my eyes up to fantastic practice tips for river running. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. It was excellent of you to put in such a big effort. May your days be plentiful with high water, big holes, and sunny days.

    This video is awesome! I'm buying my first kayak (a playboat) and taking a class (recreational kayaking) this weekend. I have been trying to assemble a list of things to practice in my pool or on a still water creek near my home. This is perfect. Everything in one place. I could stay occupied with this for weeks. Thank you!

    This is the perfect video with ideas I can practice on a flat water pond in order to be ready to apply on whitewater! Thanks so much!

    Hey Paul, I am about your weight but a bit taller and I paddle the 48X most often, although I do find that the 56X goes way bigger. However, do to an injury last year, I wanted to go a bit easier on my body this year. The 48X still goes huge for me and it is way easier to throw around, balance is your trade off though. I would recommend demo'ing both if you have the chance. Overall the Project X is a great freestyle boat and is highly recommended by lots of folks.

    Hi Paul, I think the Project X is a great boat for those trying to get into freestyle, however if you mean a boat to get started in kayaking, check out river runners such as the Wave Sport Diesel, Dagger Mamba, Pyranha Burn or Jackson Zen... I highly recommend Wave Sport's outfitting, it's what sold me on Wave Sport to begin with.

    Maybe a random question for this video, but are those glasses or goggles? and do they stay on well? I'm looking for an alternative to wearing contacts because I don't trust them staying in through rough water and any goggles ive found have been really uncomfortable.
