Default A question from a new paddler...

Probably about the same as most recreational kayaks. All of the models are
very wide and appear to have hulls designed primarily for initial stability.
For a kayak to be most agile it one should be able to tilt the hull (edging)
while performing a sweep or ruddering stroke a high initial stability limits
(by definition) the ability to edge the boat.


That's not surprising. All of life is a trade-off between comfort and
performance!
