I think the choice is between speed and how much you want to play in surf holes and stability. There's usually a trade-off somewhere. The Mohawk Shaman is fast, eddy catches well, and is a good all-around boat. I'd go with that versus the Probes. I personally like the Outrage X better than the Outra...

Can anyone tell me about hull speed with the Esquif Nitro? I'm looking for a boat to paddle II-III water, do some surfing. My sense is the Nitro surfs well, but you need a motor to get to the surf hole. Anyone tried the Spark for surfing, or mostly slalom?
