Re Steve Holtzman's reply to Andy Mulina's Gulfstream query, I also have been paddling a Gulfstream for about two years. I agree with all Steve has to say, although I personally have not found a broaching problem in the Atlantic surf on the South Carolina coast: yes it will broach, but in my (admittedly limited) experience, most kayaks will do that if given a chance. And in any case, as Steve implies, it's edging abilities, plus it's comforting stability when on edge, make sideways landings almost a pleasure. So go for it - I think you will be very happy with the boat.
