Bob:

I have never paddled Eddyline, but I have paddled the Nordkapp is all it's
variations.  To me the Nordkapp is at it's best in confused seas.  The
Nordkapp to me just begs to get up on edge and with good technique, carves
turns very gracefully for such a straight tracking boat.  For some reason I
just feel more stable in rougher water with the Nordkapp.

You should contact Scott Williams at Sweetwater Kayaks (941) 346-1179 or
swkayaks_at_aol.com.  He has a few Nordkapps in stock but better yet, he is
just about to have a *** Spring Sale with 20 - 25% Discounts *** off all
boats and possibly other merchandise as well.  That is a huge discount!  I
don't think he carries Eddyline, but I know he carries Valley Canoe
Products, Nigel Dennis Kayaks and Dagger.  It would be worth a call.

Good luck!

Robert
