I kayak, surf and have tried the kayak surfing and most waves the kayak just turns sideways and I just try to not get flipped. Last year I tried surfing my WS Tarpon 160 in 4 to 5 foot waves. First wave I caught the bow went striaght down and hit the reef, front hatch cover was ejected like a missle and the kayak filled with water, I spent the next hour paddling a water filled kayak to shore.
I came in behind a medium size wave on my Adventure Island while under sail and I felt like I was on rails, what excitement.
