Liquid Logic's take:
The next generation in playboats for liquidlogic, yet fits into our current hot line of short boats. The Space Cadet is the shortest playboat to date for us, which makes it even easier to throw around and get into the air. It fits paddlers in the weight range of 150-190. We maximized the volume in this 5'11" boat giving it lots of foot room and plenty of space around the knees to lift yourself out of the water and into whatever cool contortion you can imagine. We also increased the spin surface which makes it looser and gives a larger platform for launching wave moves. This is where it's going: more fun, more comfort, easier to paddle.

| pros: | Lots of volume for people with big feet and legs. Very comfy for me at 160lbs and 5'11'' Size 12 feet... It takes some getting used to but I like it more and more everyday. It feels like it will loop easily and also be good for some of the new air moves.. but I've only had it in real small features so far. I'll post more later. |
| cons: | It's tougher to throw in flatwater compared to the S6 and some other new ones but I take comfort over flatwater ability any day. |

| pros: | This boat will throw down any move you want the air time is incredible, Very balanced on both ends and will spin till it makes you dizzy. |
| cons: | Hard to find |
| other: | Every review I read about this boat said it was hard to roll but the first day I paddled the boat i was able to hand roll with no problem at all. If you ant a boat that is lose as hell and will do any move you want this is the boat for it. |

(enjoys mostly playboating and rates this boat 8 /10) |
| pros: | Quality boat bounces well and feels gd for air. Will still spin on nice waves. Extremely comfortable for me at 6ft with quality outfitting and decent footroom. |
| cons: | SLOW. Even though i'm heavy for the boat at 195lbs i expected it to be faster than it is. Makes ferrying and surfing difficult. Also so short that cartwheels are really quick and it is difficult to stall. |
| other: | Also makes a great beer cooler when camping |

| pros: | it has a lot of room in the front for your legs and feet. is wonderful on a wave and a playhole. great for loops |
| cons: | it is like going down the river in a bath tub. the outfitting is the worse I have ever seen. The back rest is truely like sand paper when you skin is wet. The knee and leg pads will fall out when the kayak gets hot, they are just stickers with padding. if you go in a hole with this boat expect a man handling. |
| other: | i use the space cadet for 8 weeks strait and the plasic is very durable but the outfitting is crap, if you want to any except surf this is not a good boat for you |
