: . . . but you could use the
: same idea and carve your own and have a removable skeg system: Big deep
: skeg for rough days, medium skeg for.. you guessed it... medium days, and
: even no skeg for flat days, or for meandering streams that require more
: maneuverability. You could even change fins... sorry.. skegs in the middle
: of the day if conditions changed.

I haven't heard of replaceable skegs being used on kayaks, though it certainly sounds like a good idea if you want to ry a few different fin styles as skegs. I suspect you would eventualy settle on just two situations, though: with skeg, and without skeg, or maybe big skeg vs. small skeg.

The common way I've seen on the board to get different skeg performance is with an adjustable skeg. A single skeg is lowered to varying depths, or retracted into the boat completely. You use a string, cable or wire to raise or lower the skeg, and since you can do this from the cockpit while you are underway there is no need to stop to change skegs.
