: Allen, more descriptions,,that kayak keeps interesting me,,do you have any
: boats to compare it too?
Lee-I paddled the Night Heron summer before last; I really liked it. Fast, incredibly maneuverable, much more secondary stability than the max beam would suggest. My personal boat is a Pygmy Osprey HP; I expected that the NH, with 2" less beam, would be tippy as all getout in comparison, but that wasn't the case. I weigh around 200LB., and found that the boat didn't feel too small for me. In my admittedly limited experience, the NH would be the perfect all-around dayboat.-Greg
