That's exactly what you have to decide because if you don't think about it early, you'll think about it when you get frustrated for the umpteenth time. I bought a surfski because I wanted to go fast and race. Also because catching and surfing open ocean swells gets exponentially better the faster you can go. It's completely inappropriate for sightseeing or cruising of any kind, but I knew that before I got it.
