[Paddlewise] What do you paddle?

I was wandering what kinda kayaks yall paddle and why.I paddle a hard chine
Greenland Style kayak because I like the v-bottom for tracking, the hard
chines for carving a turn and ease of building stitch and glue.The low
volume appeals to me and living in Florida the wet ride doesn't matter as
much. I don't care for the British style Kayaks with there rounded hulls
and low initial stability. A few of the like the North Shore have rounded
off the hard chine but are closer to the Greenland style, but are to tight
to be comfortable for me to paddle.I design and build my own kayaks to fit
my self and style of paddling. If I was to ever buy a kayak I would buy a
Arctic Hawk, preferably a mahogany one from Superior Kayaks. If not then a
fiberglass one from Wilderness Systems. I tried a Betsy Bay Kayak but it
was a tight fit.I took the skin off the top of my knees getting in , then
could not move around inside . I was stuck in the position I entered. So I
marked that one off my list.
What is your favorite kayak and Why?
