: Err, my "Sea Flea" is not like the others, it just

: sure if that translates to the Kidarka.

I had put the sweep into the sheer of the Micro Sea Fleas that I built, and planned on putting it in the full size ones. The plan was to increase overall sheer curve, decrease depth to sheer, decrease deadrise, and increase flare angle. I basically did that with the Micro Sea Fleas, but planned a more dramtic change for the full sized versions.
