Main use: rodeo
Dagger's take:
G Force comes in 4 different sizes to accommodate the full spectrum of paddlers and is targeted as a specialty hole playing kayak. The short lengths enable paddlers to make huge aerial maneuvers and permit vertical play in any volume of water. The manufacturer suggested retail price is $1,059.99 USD.

(enjoys mostly river running and rates this boat 9 /10) |
| pros: | forgiving, fast hull speed for its short length, very comfortable (I'm 6ft1 and 175 lbs). I could paddle this thing all day and not be cramped. Nice backband ratchet system. |
| cons: | larger volume makes it a bit difficult to initiate. |
| other: | no comment |

(enjoys mostly playboating and rates this boat 8 /10) |
| pros: | This boat fly's off the water. It skips on it's owns. This is probably because I'm pretty light for it. It spun very well and blunted and cartwheeled great. Very Comfy |
| cons: | Big, and lack of carving ability, and hard to initate the bow. They are done making them |
| other: | I'm 6'3'' 160lbs, size 10 feet, and been paddling for 6 years. So I am at the light end of the weight scale for the 6.3 and the right body size for it. |

| pros: | I am 5'11", size 10 feet, 100kgs and am well experienced in playboating/squirtboating. Please note, paddle ratings were judged on what I found applied to me whilst paddling this boat.
I've had 2.
The first one had a power seat and I found that better.
I like sitting high in this boat.
Decent amount of room.You can have the front pillar out easily but it is better to keep it in to keep the hull stiff.
Spins well. Cartwheels well, not entirely corky in the hole.
|
| cons: | I am too heavy for this boat for optimum playboating.
It is always good to hack into the front pillars to allow your feet more room but if you read the Riot pamphlets that come with boat; any mods you do to the boat void their warranty so be wary.
With my weight the nose sinks too easy for river running.
Not the best for beach surf. |
| other: | I didn't see the point of using fins on this boat.

| pros: | i have recently bought this boat its cheap its great its comfortable and it is suprisingly fast on a wave and is great for spinning all round great play boat i am 6''2' with large size 12 feet and still get my flipper feet in with out haveing to amputate them unlike other spud boats. Also bounces beautifully!!! |
| cons: | the backband that came with it was basic but did the job but i upgraded to an ir one the db's |
| other: | get this boat if your looking for a classic play boat it can't be bad as professionals still choose to use em although 3 generations have come out after it. |
