Ok Ok. I am getting very excited, your guys are saying that I can be rough with this thing and it'll come back for more!!!! Sounds amazing!!!! Now, the kayaks that I have done white water in have been 7 ft long (short) and low in the water. I am not close to an ocean, so I can't ride a surf in it. I live in Ontario Canada and the only white water has rocks etc. Isn't this kayak too big (15')???? Shouldn't this be used for cruising around the lake or on a canoe trip? Thank you guys so much for all your tips!!! Mentioned before is about adding a shade to the epoxy instead of painting it. Should I cover the whole kayak in a layer of epoxy? Won't that be overkill making it heavier? I just want it to look nice, cause if it is a lake cruiser then I wouldn't be scratching the paint on rocks or anything.

Your comments are greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Thnx Ross
