"the conditions on the Loch most definitely did not favor the K-Lite. There were serious waves that you could hear coming up behind you. Then they would ripple along under the rubber bottom of the boat. At 6'2" I felt each wave on my legs in the bottom of the boat. To me it felt like a very frightening massage each time." I paddle a fiberglass boat nowadays, but the only thing I really miss about my old Klepper (rubber bottomed folding kayak) is the wonderful sensation of the boat flexing in the waves and the delightful feeling of being in intimate contact with the water.
