One of the things I noticed this summer is that some kayaks do produce a "rooster tail." It only seems to happen on kayaks that have sterns like the Solstice line. It's a little dribble about one cm high :-) Mike (Actually, it's caused by water moving aft along the keel and sticking to the keel as the keel turns up out of the water. Gravity eventually overpowers it and pops off.) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
