: Actually the bow is practical too, rarely are native kayak designs
: done for purely cosmetic reasons, the lower part extends the
: waterlines forward keeping them narrow for maximum speed, the
: upper part provides the buoyancy so the bow doesn't stick itself
: into steep waves. Why or if it's split is the question.
