The only one that I have paddled that fits this description is the Ocean 
Kayak Sprinter.  It's not as long and narrow as a traditional surf ski (17' 
x 21") but it was quite a bit different than the Scupper pro and similar 
ilk.  It was fairly fast, though not nearly as fast as my closed cockpit 
CLC Northbay.  It was certainly tippier than most SOT boats, and with it's 
round hull, tippier than a lot of touring boats with similar 
specifications.  If someone were looking for an inexpensive boat for 
workouts that didn't have to be babied on shore landings it might be a good 
choice.
