Forplay outfitting images & review

Post by Mike W. »

I finally took some photos of my outfitting job on the Forplay. I did a lap-belt / bulkhead set up on this one. I've posted the photos on my yahoo page:

I'm ~190lbs & bought the Forplay as an all around boat for shallow rivers. I love the way my Big EZ surfs, but wanted a little more speed while paddling plastic. It's noticably faster :D I can get to more features than I could with the Big EZ. The Forplay doesn't carve as well on a wave, it seems looser. I have to watch the bow a little more since it's longer & has less rocker. It will ender :P The Forplay spins much better. It punches holes pretty well. The bow will dive if pushed too hard, but it can be sliced out too. It's the best back-surfing boat I've been in. Blunts & shuvits are effortless. Bow squirts are easier than stern squirts.
