: Sounds like a Night Heron would be the ticket. High foredeck, low aft.
: 20" wide, around 18' I think. For more tracking, maybe the Outer
: Island. Then there's the King, of course...
The King is slightly larger than either the Night Heron or OI, but is a sweet roller.
A high foredeck isn't necessarily great for rolling--especially the forward recovery rolls...but...you've gotta fit in it, too!!
A Greenland SOF might be the exact ticket. Build it the width of your rear plus the flats of your palms. Length can take care of volume to float ya!
Post the same question on the Greenland forum.
