Currituck or Assateague, that is the question that only test paddles can

I didn't paddle the Assateague, so I cannot comment on that.

However, I was impressed with the Currituck. It had good initial
stability ... whereas the VCP Avocet felt tippy. It also tracked really
well for me and yet I was able to turn it with just seven sweep
strokes...most boats I have paddled take 8. It also seemed to be pretty
fast boat compared to others I have paddled.

Hopefully you'll be able to find someone a bit closer who owns these
boats and will let you try them out. I am a big believer in actually
paddling a boat before you purchase it as they do all behave a bit
differently depending on who is sitting in it. Where are you at? Perhaps
there is someone reading this group who could help you out.
