  My Kahuna came standard with the same adjustable footpegs as the K-Light.
They also serve as the rudder petals by not tightening  them down. Mine is an
older boat, so perhaps something has changed.
  I agree, they aren't very good footpegs, but mainly because they aren't very
comfortable, and sometimes rotate out of position.   Still, a nice kayak
overall. On my homebuilt folders,  I position a cross section so that it also
serves as the footbrace.


   A folder ,  if designed and sized the same as any other performance kayak,
rolls just as well .
