Re: [Paddlewise] NECKY STINGRAY OCEAN SURFING KAYAK

I've seen the stingray, and sat in it on land. I am 6'2", 32" inseam and
size 13 feet, and I thought it was super comfortable. The owner is about
200lbs although not as tall, and he absolutely loves the way it surfs. He
<surfer accent> definitely rips in that boat </surfer accent> and I would
say that it is one hot design. It seems to really require fins though to
prevent skidding out. In my personal, untested opinion, it is a great surf
design, and I wish I had one.
