In Response To: S&G: Black Skimmer Sea Kayak Design *PIC* (Duane Strosaker)

Can you detail the bennett-fits of the hump a bit more? What is your paddling posture like in there? Are you sitting knees up and center for racing, with options for frog-legging and Greenlandish flat-legs? Any pics with you sitting beside it in paddling posture for a sense of scale and fit? Was foot room the only design criteria you were finding an answer for?

Although Black Skimmer is probably an apt name, I think you missed your chance to call it The Python! ; )

As usual, beautiful work!
