: If the kayak is un-paddleable, what fun is it? What is your

: I'm currently building Scott Campbells E18 design. I stretched it

: factor of 75.

: Personally, I wouldn't look to the rec-class for competition.

Unpaddlable (not sure that's a word ) depends on the person. I know guys that paddle new K1's and I can't leave the beach in one before I'm inverted. No idea how they keep the darned things upright. The older ones though are fun, though still pretty tippy.
