: that will surf well and handle 2 to 3 meters of sea on a 3 or 4 meter
: swell. Day and over night paddles only. The composite boat I was looking
: at was the Impex force 5 as an example. Can be strip kayak or s and g
: Please put me in the right direction. Thanks tim

Hi Tim,
To add to Pat's post, you could also look at Rob Mack's Shooting Star (16'6") and Fire Star (17').

Check out our hosts site, Guillemot, as well, there could be one meets your ideas. Link at the bottom of all the pages. :)

Hope this helps,
