   Agreed! The same thing goes for developing a bomb proof combat roll. 
I must admit that when the surf is small I do find my surf boat boring, 
and I prefer to see what performance I can coax from the sea kayak. But 
when the surf is pumping the sea kayaks are in survival mode while I'm 
having a blast in my surf boat!

   I am going to try to get out for a bit tomorrow morning and see just 
how well the outside lean works.
