was there really a post on a short version..my son loved all the strippers that he saw at the rondevous but they are too big for him (he's 10 and now has a Mill Creek13). I am trying to get him into the Venture design (14ft) in the Newfound catalog. Has anyone really done a 13' or 14' Guillemot kayak ?
