Hi Hans,

Another interesting, slick kayak. Could you comment on the cockpit size and your paddling technique? With the fuller bow, is this yak for more open water? - and if so, how do you stay locked in or do you prefer the high knee stance for speed? (Do you have hip braces or thigh straps?) An interesting aside - with the low sheer in the ctr, you have a nice long curve going from stern down to ctr up to bow - similar in some respect to the guillemot - and one of the reasons it's so elegant, too.
