: I've tried to incorporate some of the suggestions I got on my first drawing
: for the surf kayak. Here is the modified version so far. I cut quite a bit
: of length off, added rocker with more kick at the bow and stern, and
: increased the volume of the stern.: I am not competely happy with the plan (viewed from top) shape, but I think
: I'm getting close.: Any further comments would be appreciated.
It looks a lot better! I think that everything Byron says is spot on. I'd add that I'd like to see a bit less volume up front. Yes, you will give up a little foot room, but the boat will cut into the wave beter and have more pleasing lines.
The offer to be a beta builder/tester still holds. You also may want to ontact some of your east coast hotshots like Stowe Blankenship or Dave Stroud (AB kayaks) for testing.
