Well the first an secondary stability are low. This is a kayak for users of racing and exersice kayaks. The bottom is not extremly flat and the keel line is rather straight so the boat tracks nicely, it is almost a bit hard to turn. I did not add any skeg at all. But the skeg design is of a common dagger board design.
Surfing is always fun but due to the length of the boat and the straight keel line this is not a "fun and play" kayak. It is more of a fast tripping kayak
I like to canoe, so I tries to keep the building time as short as possible.
Send regards to Joe Pro
