I'm 270 and 6'2". I love my Storm. It is great in big water. I was
not thrilled with the performance in a medium sized fairly fast river
(Manistee in Michigan about 50 feet wide) The current seemed to push me
around more than I would have liked. Because there are virtually no
chimes it feels a bit tippy at the start but is actually very stable.

I'm curious what people think of the Squall or Storm from Current Designs.
I'm looking for a new sea kayak which will be used mainly in the Great Lakes
area as well as on other large local lakes and rivers (Wisconsin, Illinois
mainly). It may occasionally make a trip to the ocean, financese permitting.

I'm 5'11" 175 pounds, so I'm leaning a bit more towards the Squall, but it
all depends on fit.
