–When Paddling up Wind you Exert Less force to Drive the Boat Forward through the Waves
•Increased Wetted Surface Area “Down Wind”
–Allows the Boat to Hold more of the Wave increasing Hull Speed and Stability
Increased Maneuverability
The raised and tapered stern end of the hull provides a much sharper turning ability. Paddling close
to the shore requires more turning and this boat allows you to get in close and tight.
The forward cockpit location provides better vision. Not only to see up coming obstructions but
to read the incoming or out going waves. The forward cockpit is the key to an exciting paddling experience.
