Also, part of the deal of a SOF is that it really needs to fit the paddler. So building one a few sizes too large, to grow into, is really going to detract from the control of the craft. There is also a real skill set that goes along with paddling one, the roll is truly integral, although float bags ameliorate capsizes and swamping to some degree. Be safe.
