At 15'9" long and only 21 > 1/4" wide it should be pretty tippy though. I briefly tried this kayak last summer and found it fairly tippy. It is definitely a small person's kayak. My height certainly contributes to the tippiness, but I couldn't believe the seat height! It made me feel like I was sitting on the back deck rather than in the cockpit. If I could have remembered the name I would have recommended it. Some smaller paddlers kind of liked it and it's worth a test paddle.
