Jackson Kayak has completely redesigned the Fun and 4Fun** for 2015.  The new Fun is aimed more at river running with playboating added in to make getting down the river more fun than ever.  The 2015 models excel at surfing, squirting, cartwheeling and more. They have even more foot room with a side-flair for more stability in boils and currents, which also makes them even easier to roll.   For 2015 the bow is more rockered making it easier to keep water off the deck and it easier to cross eddylines and boils. Advanced kayakers will find these to be great all around river running kayaks up to a class IV, while beginners will be challenged with a forgiving playboat that will help them excel at learning to play.

The updated Fun will paddle larger than the 2010-14 models, but it is smaller than the 2010 4 Fun.  The 4 Fun is also larger than the previous models but smaller than the 2010 Super Fun.  Playing on moving water will be easy and more relaxed but because of the changes to make them better river runners it will be harder to initiate flat water moves such as flat water cartwheels.
