the  nature of the mod is unkown to me, but owuld guess
the rib rear of the  cockpit is lower than the stock
one.



This is correct. I believe, but am not entirely sure, he made his own rib  #4 
so that he could entirely layback. The Feathercraft Whisper he did a rolling  
demo in at SSTIKS he removed rib 4 entirely as he had no time to make the  
modification. The kayak bowed a bit, but was otherwise fine.
 
Feathercraft makes a lower profile *rolling* rib for the Khatsalano. I have  
it and it does make for a nicer layback roll.
