I do not know the Pintail but I can heartily endorse the Coaster. John Lull, a Tsunami Ranger, ACA instructor and all around ocean play demon uses a Coaster and swears by it. His is a reinforced Kevlar model I believe. He paddles out of Half Moon Bay in California where I took his ACA cert. class and paddled his Coaster a few times. It is short enough to turn easily, lighter than many boats, tracks well, has good waterline length and is therefore much faster than it's length would indicate. It really is a great all around coastal play boat. I haven't seen many though and can't say where to go to paddle one. Might Matt know where there is one here in Oregon? Of course sit on tops can work great for coastal play too. What's that we say? It all depends...
