Had my first outing in the "new" ocean kayak today in perfect weather conditions. I had a paddle first without any fishing gear and just got the foot positions,seating and rudder system sussed out. I paddled the yak into a few different boat wakes at varying angles and was pretty impressed with its stability. The rudder really reduces the need for any corrective paddles consequently conserving energy but also can be used to control the angle of your drift. I'm looking forward to testing it in the surf but not this w/end the forecast is terrible. Pat
