: I would guess pretty much the same. You can not compare these kayaks to
: really fast ones. Fast meaning fast at the wave making speeds of past 8
: km/h (5 mph). And then you can not compare Rijper to K1 sprint kayak past
: 10 km/h (6.2 mph).

: It all depends what the fast is for each person. But if Ken really wants
: kayak that has noticeable speed difference I think he should go for
: clearly faster one.

: Toni.

Most places have a Current Design dealer fairly close by, their Nomad (ex-Extreme) would be a good comparison of a fairly fast kayak that should be relatively easy to find.
