Back in March I made the switch from a Dagger Magellan to a Gulfstream from Current Designs. Boy what a difference (not just aesthetically). Weathercocking is pretty much a non-issue. Most x nothing a raised knee can't handle. If I do feel the need, the skeg is always there. Surfs wind wavs nicely. I'm able to go for good rides without broaching. Construction is top notch. No leaking. Seat is comfortable. Solid footpegs. Rolling & stability - I tried to self-teach myself how to roll for 3 years in the old Magellan and could never do it. This past summer I learned to roll in the Gulfstream. Not bombproof, but it's coming along. Stability is just how I like it, solid yet playful. Any beefs? Small hatch rear of the seat is hard to get on and off. Sliding cable for skeg could have a better "grab", could use a little thicker padding where my knee makes contact with the deck. Dream Boat.
