In Response To: S&G: Looking for feedback from skinnies. (Etienne Muller)

I would highly honor cockpit comfort and initial stability. Those two things outweigh everything when it comes to happiness in paddling. The need for speed is something paddlers go to once they become confident and bored. Personally. I find the efficiency of the hull just makes me feel good in my kayak. Very rarely, am I out in front in groups, because I dont care about that. It would be great if the woman could sit in a few. Smaller women usually don't feel comfortable in kayaks that are too wide anyhow. So, the weight / efficiency thing usually falls in place.

Kayaking is about happiness not speed.
