took me a while but i found it. Neat idea, Hope the others can answer your questions. As for the hull, the sides are square instead of rounded like all the sea kayaks that are typically posted here. Since this boat is made to stay in the surf, Perhap the handling charachteristics of the hard Chine benifit it. I'm sure the desighners have some answers for us.
