No thread jack...
Nothing but good words to say about that yak. It is definitely worth test paddling out there. Light, cuts through the chop, tracks well, and more importantly surfs great. There was a stiff SSW wind, but since the kayak sits low it wasn't bad. I couldn't have chosen a better day to test that kayak. Bad conditions, but it performed well. While out on the fishing grounds some guy asked if I was Josh.. Now, do I really look like The Darkhorse? lol

The surf was unforgiving. But, you were rewarded! Short intervals, sucked. I managed a dry launch/landing. At one point I stared at a 4-5ft wall coming at me before landing. I saw one guy flip. It kind of looked like he gave up once the wave took him. Once again, congrats on your white.
