I am new to seakayaking (with previous experience in river white-water) and considering buying a plastic Current Designs Storm. Does anyone have any useful info on this kayak - good or bad?? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

I also spend most of my time on WW, and this boat has that kind of feel. If you weigh under 180#, you might be interested in the Squall (a Squall is a small Storm, right?). Same basic design, narrower, even more responsive.

Since I began paddling a Feathercraft K1, the Storm has become the guest boat and everyone that I've put in it has liked it (beginners and non-beginners alike). It has a well designed and sturdy rudder with very easy to use rigging. The hull is quite sleek, particularly for a molded boat, but still has the volume for extended camping and tall paddlers (up to 6'3"). If you are not a large person, you might want to look elsewhere as you will be bouncing around inside the roomy cockpit.
