About a week ago, I tried to squeeze my large posterior into my friend Ken's Elite surfski. No dice! But I was really surprised at the cockpit! It isn't really very shallow and has steep sides. So even though it's not a closed deck boat, I could see it holding on to quite a bit of water. So it might be just the luck of the draw as far as its orientation as it's about to land on your head!
