yeah, I discovered that
Posted by: climbnride58 on Sep-05-12 5:41 PM (EST)

I was kayaking in my nine foot, and friends had fourteeners. It wore me out trying to keep up.
As I mentioned, I am looking for a touring kayak. something relatively lightweight, but has decent storage capabilities. Hoping for something in the twelve foot range.
