Hi All,
I ran the rental fleet in Victoria. B.C. for Ocean River Sports this last
summer. Ocean River Sports is owned by Brian Henry who also owns Current
Designs. So, needless to say most of the fleet were Current Design Boats.
One Sunday morning a fellow came down to rent a kayak. He was giant. He had
hands like feet and feet like barges. He tried a CD Storm and a GT Solstice
before he finally found foot and cockpit comfort in a Solstice GTS High Volume.
He had a good days paddle and returned vowing that the GTS High Volume was
the boat for him!
CD High Volume boats have an additional 3/4" in the hull height, which makes
them great baots for those with larger feet!
Chris.
Victoria. B.C.
