: If you're a fair weather paddler you can do anything you want with your deck

: Brits made their Greenland inspired kayaks with a peaked fore deck.

: A flatish fore deck will give you a face full of water in rough seas. As the
: bow dives and water piles up on the fore deck the water will be catapulted
: into your face. A peaked deck will shed water to the sides as the bow
: rises.
