In Response To: S&G: Kayak for big seas and open ocean (Tim)

Tim, it didn't strike me at first, but a seventeen foot boat, in 2-3 meter seas, with 3-4 meter swells....that would be six to nine foot seas, with 9 to 12 foot swells...which would indicate a very good wind, and a good breaking shoreline....maybe what you really want is an aircraft carrier or a battleship...or a hovercraft, or a sailboat?

: Trying to find a kayak that is about 17 feet long , 21 to 22 inches wide and
: 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
