Anyone have one of these. Looks like a nice yak. If you have one is it a fast yak and would it be ok for the open ocean close to shore? Thanks FishHawk
never
heard of one what do the look like and who carries them?
Never seen on on the water
Current Design doesn’t have much presence in Texas, though. The cost probably keeps folks from buying it. There are lots of good SOT fishing kayaks out there for less money.

I got one last year, and I love it. Very stable, and is an easy paddle. I would highly recommend a demo paddle, and check out the quality.
Unsure
of the yak you’re asking about, but it soundslike it could be an upper end sot. Take a look at the Hurricane Phoenix models. I think they have a 12, 13, 14, and 16 foot models. They’re made of thermoform plastic and have a scupper collection system with only one scupper hole on the botttom. The prices don’t seem excessive for yaks like this either.
