Other: Fitting kayak to me?

I would like to know how to setup my kayak seat and brace areas to improve my kayak skills. Last year I built a Great Auk. I don’t know how to brace, lean or role but want to learn. Should the cockpit be setup to fit me correctly before starting to learn these things? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
