The Stinger is truly a Jack-of-all-trades design. There simply are no other kayaks out there that let you to go creeking on Friday, win a rodeo on Saturday, and teach a novice to paddle in on Sunday.
The Stinger will bounce into the biggest Air Blunts, Pan-Ams, and Air Screws on small steep waves or large rushing ones. It will Cartwheel and Airloop in everything from the smallest holes to the meatiest foam piles. The Stinger easily and effortlessly runs down hard-core class 4+ creeks and rivers.
You might find another design out there that can match the Stinger's ability in any one of these categories, but it is almost impossible to find another design that can come close to the Stinger in all of them combined.
If there were such a thing as a monopoly on fun, the Stinger would own it.
