Comments about Necky Looksha 17 Kayak with Rudder:

I loved the Looksha's long sleek body that made it very stable. I was able to punch through some big surf, and it easily stayed on course with big (to me) wind waves of 3 feet or more.
With the Looksha being as long as it is (over 17 feet) I thought it would have had more cargo space.
It has a snug fit for larger paddlers, which made it easy to roll.
I enjoyed paddling it.
