I've never flipped outside of the surf. But, my first kayak was a Navigator. I almost rolled that yak so many times I sold it after 6 months. One of Cobra's worst designs. I paddled a Tarpon 140 for a few years, I liked it a lot. I didn't find it too tippy at the time. I'm so used to my current battleship (Ride 135) though, that most kayaks would feel tippy to me now.

Stats? well, physical are 6ft 1, 170 lbs 76 yrs.
