Jackson Karma R/G VS the Surf Zone

Short(ish) piece about why I no longer paddle my Jackson Karma R/G. I prefer a half-slice or a longboat like the newer Pyranha 12R which has significantly more rocker and lets it get through bigger surf much easier than the Karma R/G. The RG still remains one of my favorite boats and an awesome boat for rock gardening and river paddling.

Great job riding the foam pile safely! To be fair, I've seen Rodeo chew up and spit out both shorter rock gardening boats as well as longer boats. And it can be placid and all of a sudden giant. Rodeo is not for the faint of heart kayaker ;-)

interesting point of view, I've never heard of that as a downside of the karma rg. You said you sold it, do you know anyone who wants to get rid of one in norcal. I'm searching for one
