It really seems to be quite ideal for me, stable, fairly obvious edge point (secondary), very comfortable for my 6' 200 lb body.Ĭan't comment on real rough water handling or surfing, as I haven't advanced enough to have done much of that, though I hope to. Last trip had some minor tides and winds to contend with, I didn't require the skeg. The Pro model I’ve been testing is actually much more effective at cooling, though that’s in comparison to a prototype of the original Zephyr rather than the final product. vs 5.5 mph on GPS), I can do a 360 degree turn in about 6 strokes (working on getting this down by more consistent edging). I find it easy to paddle, I managed to slightly exceed the top speed I could achieve in a Looksha IV (5.9 mph. New listings: Fiberglass WS Zephyr 15. I only paddled the first owned boat an hour before I gave up trying to go straight. The boat I originally rented and used in a class also was dry after use, so there's two Zephyr 16's that sealed well with WS hatches.
All three compartments were dust-dry at the end of the day. Last trip I did a lot of practice, meaning the boat was capsized a lot and had some water in the cockpit all day. Had a minor leakage at skeg, fixed with a little silicone. Both have WS hatches on the bow and day hatches, and Kajaksport hatch on the rear oval. The second one was made December '08, received in January. My first one was made in June '08, bought Nov. WS replaced it very quickly with very little hassle, via the dealer. My first one was defective (twist from not cooling properly out of the mold, I suspect). I am pretty much a beginner kayaker, I liked it because I fit well in it, and I felt I could advance my skills in the boat.
