Whi****er in a recreational kayak????

Weren't you the one selling a glass Shadow back last spring? Seemed like you thought pretty highly of that boat back then? I never said anything about it that would indicate that I liked it. My SO is selling it. Why would she sell a good boat? Perception makes boats that range from the Sparky to real WW boats to $3K Kevlar sea kayaks. Some of them are very popular. I think you're generalizing too much. Their "top of the line" sea kayaks handle very poorly in rough conditions. The Shadow and Eclipse both need a rudder. They wander like crazy in rough seas. No kayak should rely on a rudder. If it can't track reasonably without a rudder, it's a liability. Popularity is rarely an indicator of quality. Look at MS Windows. Perception is all over the place, but they are second-rate kayaks compared to the competition. Mike |
