In Response To: do I need a rudder? (Charlie Lesh)

Charlie, keep paddling until you REALLY need a rudder, paddle a Dagger Cortez, if it's as bad as that then a skeg would be a great idea. In rough water you're maneuvering all the time to go straight, in flat water is requires as much reactions from you to go straight.
