You have to learn the art of skim reading.

Basically, for someone like me, who weighs 165 pounds, a 19 foot surfski is all I need. Unfortunally, most surfskis these days are 21 feet, which is better suited for paddlers well over 200 pounds.

But we should wait and let Nick give it a good reading over so he can find any flaws.
