I have a friend who is looking to buy a faster kayak. He now has a Necky Tesla and he is looking at buying a Necky Looksha 3, An arluk 2, a Current designs extreme or a seaward quest. Sea Kayker magazine has Kaper ratings that measure the speed and resistance of a kayak. Does anyone know of a way to get these Kaper ratings on different kayak? The Sea Kayaker website only lists certain kayaks and none of the above kayaks are listed. Does anyone have any first hand paddling experience of these kayaks and their relative speed? Thanks for the info, Mike mhw58_at_yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Mike, I've paddled all three and bought the fastest of them. The CD Extreme is a very fast and great handling boat. Faster than I need. I'm selling mine (a red over white Kevlar rocket) to get something that supports my slower paddling pace. Happy to discuss but I don't want to pollute the bandwidth with a private sale talk. Email me if you want more info.
