You think that's interesting...wait 'till you get into the surf. If you don't have a perfect 90 degree angle with the wave, the boat turns sideways automatically. Within seconds, you're riding the wave sideways without a chance of correction. The boat is super stable though, and I've had 8 foot waves break on top of me as I was sideways, and I never tipped. >> Gee, thanks! Can't wait to side surf Bethany Beach in six foot dumpers! Where did I get the idea these things could carve a wave on a diagonal? Gotta be 90 degrees, huh? Fun in vertical surf! And the XT is a good deal more stable than the straight Scrambler. Cool.
