i have a necky looksha lv sport that came without a rudder. i used it for
about three months with my friend with a rudder. for my birthday present
that year, my friend bought a rudder kit, and had the kayak shop install it
for me. worth every penny (whatever it cost ... i don't know amount because
it was a gift) ... it makes such a difference! check with your kayak dealer
and see if they can help you.

Has anyone ever retro-fitted a rudder to a plastic kayak? I've been
plotting how that might be done with the small, plastic kayak I got on
points. It doesn't track at all (which makes it great in a tight slalom
run, but gives my girlfriend fits when she's trying to paddle across
flat water).

I'm not worried about the aesthetics of wires running along the top of
the kayak, if that would make it simpler. Is it possible? Is it a LOT
of work?
