I echo those thoughts. I also paddled the extreme at a demo here and loved it as well. I currently paddle a GTS and it seems that the Extreme has all the good characteristics of the GTS (tracking, hatch space), but can also carve a mean turn and it accelerates like a bat out of hell. I want one too. Anyone know how it handles in big water and wind? Do kayaks count as a business expense if they make working more enjoyable because you know that soon you will be paddling a really cool new 'yak? -Patrick >I had the chance to paddle an Extreme while at a local demo days >(while my wife and I were waiting for a canoe being tested by >someone else).
