: Spoiled by their handling, or spoiled by their fit and room?

Shawn,

I suppose it's an unfair statement, because I've paddled so few other kayaks and it reflects a bias on my part. I found I could control it so much better than anything else I've paddled. It carves and handles wind and waves very well for me. I'm sure some one shorter or taller or with different ideas about what a kayak should might not have the same impression. It has certainly given me an edge so far, however when paddling with others in rough weather, getting on and off the beach, paddling into wind, and surfing.
