In Response To: Surf Kayak Mark II *LINK* *Pic* (Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

It looks like you really want a V hull. Why? What benefits do you see a V hull giving to a surf kayak?

The way I understand it on our touring kayaks the V aids in tracking but to turn we have to get our boats on edge to move the V off to one side to allow our kayaks to slide sideways on the water.

I would like to see the three cross sections for 1.5’ -> 2', 4.5' -> 5' and 7.5' starting from the bow.
