: It is a SWEET system. They updated the system so there are cam
: locks at all three rails. Now it's even easier to adjust.
: Customers both requested foot strap. The first went with the
: double. The second wanted the single.
: I haven't heard of any issues with "sponginess" thus
: far...

Didn't know about the cam locks on the rails. This would be a big improvement over the wing nuts that I have on mine. there has been a fairbit of chit chat over at surfski.info regarding the responsiveness of the Stellar steering, perhaps they have modified the pedal hole locations?
I have the first gen Se surfski (2010). Totally inadequate rudder for open ocean which they changed for the 2011 model. A company that is very responsive to what the market/s wants and a quality product all round imo.

Cheers
