These 16' models are Very fast, stable, cuts through the water and waves like butter. The i model is lower profile so on windy days your not going to get pushed around.

Nice yak. I want something a little faster than my extreme, guess I'll have to try harder to sell it. I kinda want this kayak. How is it for putting rods below deck for large surf landings and also how well does this kayak handle in the surf? My extreme tends to pearl a little in the front sometimes while landing. I want something a little more surf friendly. Maybe something I could actually surf a wave in on without so much pearling in the front. It seems awfully tricky on my extreme.
