Hi again

: I have now tested my new kayak in waves and wind. The wind was 5-7 m/s and
: the waves 0.3-0.6m sweet water chop. It was a no genoas weather more like
: jib and windsurfing weather. It was a stronger summer wind real nice
: actually.

: Paddling against the sea was no problem the kayak hits the waves in the hatch
: area or chest area like most fish boats. The kayak is rather dry the vee
: deck works real nice. Paddling with the wind from the side was no problems
: either but I haven't had any problems with this kind of wind in any hard
: chine kayak.

: The kayak has a rudder so course keeping was no problem either. This is my
: first kayak with a rudder since I am a sailor it feels a bit strange to
: steer towards the "wrong" direction but after a wile I got use
: to it.

: The kayak is actually like two hulls fitted together. I have my heels near
: the centerline and my toes pointing towards the sides. Because you have
: your feet's more close to the centerline you will have more space above
: them witch feels nice

: Surfing was no problems either I have hade some problems before with more
: flat bottom kayaks but this time I added a bit more vee and rocker to the
: hull witch made the surf feel a bit safer.

: The pivot point is in the middle of the kayak.

: In about two weeks I will make a longer trip with some friends I will than
: have a chance to compare my kayak with some other types of kayaks.

: But so far the kayaks has turned out just fine I must say.
