At least they were thorough.

I liked my Escape although it was one built by Matt and Cam and not by NWK.
I kept it at the Whidbey Island lot hidden in the bushes until someone made
off with it. They put it on craigslist 3 months later and a friend gave me
a head's-up so we had the cops help me repossess it. It helped that I could
identify everything in the pockets of the PFD that he offered for sale.
Said his dad gave him the kayak. LOL. Cops were happy to have an excuse to
keep an eye on him but couldn't arrest him for some reason.

Then it burned up in the great shop fire of February, 2009. :(

That boat is huge! I am sure I could sleep in it. Seriously! I had the
sliding seat and while it was not as easy to move as my Express' seat, it
worked pretty well. But the Escape does not need a rudder! I never surfed
it but I suspect that it would surf nicely. You should try it and let us
know. I never tried to roll it either but it might be a handful.
