Stability questions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've had my fair share of tipping over by leaning too much. Then again the navigator is quite narrow and light. What I can suggest is learn your kayak, knows its capability by testing how far you can lean or twist your body with no gears on your kayak so you don't have to worry about gears lost.

did someone say tippy?

I went from an XFActor to an X-13 and it felt way tippy at first but within a couple trips out I was use to it and it paddled like a dream.

Now on a Revo and it was an easy transition from X-13 to the REVO

Good luck getting use to your new ride and hopefully some sleigh rides are in your near future......the Revo feels plenty stable when hooked into a nice fish.
