>I built a Osprey H.P. and am very happy with it. It has no rocker and has about the longest turning radius of any boat I've tried. The first few times I paddled it, it rocked at every breath I took. After I became more skillful, I have enjoyed the boat more. It's not the kind of boat that you would let your friend use on his first outing. I have surfed with it and found that I had a hard time turning back out to sea after I neared shore. I thought I was a H.P. (high performance) sort of guy but now that I have had some more experiance I find that I prefer a nice stable comfortable boat. Everthing I read mentions what a nice boat the Coho is.
