here is a clip of a my King Island kayak in a typical windy day on "my lake"
i got facinated with this type of kayak when i first read Derek Hutchinsons great book...this summer i bought one from Masterbuilder Anders Thygesen, before he went on his baidarka trip along the entire norwegian coast..
the king island kayak is a fantastic design...

Nice paddling, but I don't envy the weather.
