|Putting weight forward will tend to aggravate the most common difficult |handling situations. It may help some in headwinds but that is not a |condition people generally have difficulty with. Be sure to try the dive |belt in the stern though, it should reduce weatherhelm and broaching |tendencies.. Hmmm. I thought I already had enough weight in my stern! 8-) The reason I was thinking putting the dive belt forward was to balance the load in the kayak. Lately I've been carrying a heavy load of camera equipment in the stern. So I figured the belt might help up front. I guess I"ll find out. I just want to see if I can ease any tendency for the Looksha to turn into the wind. Thanks...
