Where do you like to paddle? The Petrel is a terrific kayak. Yes it moves around alot, but you adjust to that and put in a drop skeg. It is great in surf or rough water. Very stable. I have 2. I have one built with the original hull with a slightly lowered deck, and a second built on forms made to 95%. I am 5'7" and 135. My husband liked the second so much that he is building another 95% version. He is 5'10" and 165.
