: Very true, but we should add to that, "Making sure you keep a
: fair curve". Sometimes making a change can screw all that
: nice geometry up. It's funny, people are always wanting to make
: a kayak bigger to fit big feet or long legs, but in the end most
: end up installing pads to make it more snug!

: I had not seen the Whiptail before, but wow, that's one pretty
: boat. It seems she would be a good all-around boat with good
: rocker for open water, and a lot of bow buoyancy for surfing.
: Then again, the other two boats are also awesome well-proven
: designs. Tough choice, but great lineup. I think either one
: would be a great choice.

Yeah agree, but size 13 feet are just a bit bigger than the average :)
