I think you're worrying unnecessarily.

The Jackson All-Star whitewater kayak is one of the driest boats ever made- literally. Whitewater boats have a lot of opportunity to take on water because they are submerged so often and are having great forces exerted on the skirt. I just got an All-Star this summer, and I can attest that it is way drier than the other boats I've paddled. Check out the coaming profile on this one. (You may have to select a different image.) It still lets in plenty of water, but nothing compared to other boats I've paddled.
