Since my wife started school full time I have't paddled much...
But when I do paddlle it is a Discover from Northwest
Kayaks. The worse part about this kayak is the name!

This is a fairly high volume boat. You can lean *way*
over with this boat before going over. Two summers ago
I nearly rolled it over while practicing bracing near
Mamalilacula in B.C. (near Johnstone Straight). With
a combination of spasams, that I swear were an attempt
to hip snap and were not caused by panic,  I was able 
to prevent the roll over. ;-)

It is very well made and handles well. I am not a
very experienced paddler but have seen a few days on the
water and still like the boat. The only thing that neither
my wife or I like about it is the seat. We both find that
our legs hurt after much time in the boat. I have done
nothing to correct this however.

Brian.
