Tim Tip's: in 2010/11 I paddled the entire coastline of New Zealand in a plastic sea kayak. While I loved the practicality of plastic, it just never had the same finesse as a composite kayak - it flexed, it got badly 'oil canned', and never looked that sharp. Now that I build these models I'm in love with the composites! I find the Sea Hawk to be an absolute dream for anything from a day paddle to a full blown adventure. Paddlers of all ability levels will love this kayak, with the large rudder and strong 'rails' I found it extremely fun and practical to paddle. Loaded up with equipment it handles well and is simply an adventure waiting to happen!
