? I'd imagine the center of balance is just ? infront of the kayaker due to the weight of ? the outstreched legs in cockpit ahead of the ? butt. No?

Easy to check. - put a broom handle or any 12 in pc of dowel on the floor, put a pc of 12inx12in plywood (big plus or minus) on top of the dowel and sit on it. Shuffle back and forth. You'll see that the ctr of balance is right at the crotch.
