Any Paddlewisers paddling a skeg-equipped Seaward Endeavor?  Haven't ever
seen one and would be interested in any feedback/assessments.

Thanks!

A friend of mine is a Seaward dealer so I've had a chance to paddle several
of their kayaks.  I've paddled his Endeavor (one of his personal boats)
several times but havent really played with the skeg (now that I think
about it, I'm not sure that his has one).  Initial stability is on the low
end but it has good secondary.   The Endeavor tracks really well and has
good speed.   It carves really nice turns.  For some reason I've never felt
really comfortable in it but that just be that my body shape doesn't match
up will with the size of the cockpit.  The cockpit combing seems to hit me
in a weird spot when I'm laying back for a sculling brace.  I haven't had
it out in really rough conditions so I can't really evaluate how it'll
handle them.
