The shape is good, probably better than the low profile, but they don't have the easy adjustment. She wants to learn to roll really badly, so it's a real kayak. The height under the masik is around 7 3/8". I think it would be hard to reach in and work the lever on the rec boat style. I want it to be easy for her to use so that adjusting the outfitting is not a frustration point for her before she even gets into the kayak. She gets really hung up on frustrating things like that. The adjustment will get a lot of use- I'm adding cockpit space by moving the isserfik back, so she'll have to move forward and slip in a butt bumper for rolling, then take out the bumper and slide back for paddling.

So if anybody orders some...
