In flat calm water that would probably be correct. But when you add waves to the equation then a more rounded hull that will roll in accordance with the paddlers efforts to keep it up right, as opposed to a flatter hull which will follow the angle of the wave, will actually be more stable. At least to an experiance paddler.
