: My intent of suggesting a rolling recess, though not well stated,
: was to provide a means to reconstruct a totally new cockpit
: opening at any new location and of any new size. In the process,
: opening the deck behind the cockpit also allows easy access to
: relocate the aft bulkhead if necessary. The recess is a good
: retro-constructing solution to move a cockpit without
: over-sizing the opening. I think Wayne Two’s intent is to
: modify his kayak so it is a kayak he can roll and not make it a
: dedicated rolling kayak.

My intent is merely to make this kayak easier to use my preferred roll in, the one I'm conditioned to go for. I have other rolls that I CAN use and my skinboats that I CAN do my preferred rolls in (but I dont surf those). Being able to lean back also is advantageous in surf, to prevent from being pitchpoled. So this is strictly an optional modification, one that I'd love to wake up and find had been done for me but one I'm still not convinced I want to undertake. The kayak is beautiful now and I'm wary of messing with that.
