Joe,

I have no experience with this particular kayak, but it looks like it may have just the opposite problem. It looks like with the high bow, almost no rocker and a cockpit that is positioned towards the stern, it might have a leecocking problem. Part of this will also depend on the weight of the kayak and the paddler. Hull weight is stated at 40-70 pounds. With a heavy paddler, I wouldn't expect it to weathercock. But I have not paddled it, nor talked to anyone that has, so this is all speculation on my part.

You can adjust the trim of the kayak to deal with weathercocking. This may be a more practical alternative on this kayak.
