: Anybody else notice this quote on the ClearKayak.com web page?

: "Spray skirts are confining, they are hot, and they just look
: dumb!"

In my current obsession with ultra-low back decks, I have to wonder about the deck design, too. Of course, without a sprayskirt, their boats are obviously not intended for rolling.

I did roll a similarly shaped kayak last night. An interesting challenge.

: They also show their boat out on the water without any floatation. At least
: the model is wearing a PFD.

Yes--obviously no bulkheads or bags either. Doesn't look like it has footbraces.

: They certainly aren't helping to educate beginning kayakers on proper safety.
