I asked because it looks a bit like a surfski hull and they have rudders.
It certainly has that 'get up and go' look!

This is a straight line rocket of a kayak. I saw the hull shape and thought more of the Wahoo, Björn's Sea Racer or Nick's Yukon. Surf skis have a lot more rocker. Plus the center of lateral area on skis is usually ahead of the cockpit. This one probably needs a rudder for turning rather for going straight (like the Panthera).
