"Long waterline for ... tracking" "more predictable kayak" would seem to
imply a broader spectrum of usability than is actually the case.

There's nothing wrong with that statement as it applies to a whitewater kayak.
Your expectations are what's wrong. You have to do more homework before
jumping to the conclusion that this kayak is suitable for a beginner that
isn't prepared to learn how to handle a WW kayak. You didn't address the
issue that was commented on by a couple of us - is she looking for a WW
kayak or not?

The boat's for sale.

Now, if someone would only be kind enough to work Hitler in here somewheres,
we'll just invoke Godwin's law and kill this goddamned thread as dead as the
