I skipped over previous messages about the Tribal Kayaks Tribalance kayak and wondered whether it's a maneuverable kayak without its outriggers installed. Do the outriggers cause it to be a dog when directional changes are called for? Or do they ride out of the water most of the time? In other words, how does it paddle and would you recommend one after you've paddled it? I was thinking of paddling it without the pontoons except for those rare trips when I'm primarily planning on photography. Do the pontoons help its tracking for sea kayaking use? Do any of you know anything about Nona Kayaks? The one I saw was advertised as a sea kayak, but it doesn't appear to have deck hatches, is made of fiberglass, and is only 14' long.
