Any displacement hull, which all kayaks are, will run into a wall of speed, easy to tell (if you have the power to get it there) when it happens, chines or not. The bow rises the stern sinks and it won't go any faster, you're trying to climb up over the bow wave, with a paddle there just isn't enough power to do that.
