A cobra XL, do not lean too far on this yak. Everyone that paddled it, dumped it except me. I came close a few times though.

I have a

Wilderness Tarpon 120...handles the ocean pretty well...and not bad speed for a 12 ft yak....definitely ready for an upgrade to a 140 or 160 though soon.

I have the one twenty. Been debating whether or not I'll be able to handle it in the ocean or not since I'm still fairly new to yakking.

Pocoloco, yep the good ol days. I've paddle out on the long board on surf trips to baja with a rod gripped in my teeth and a few plastics stuck in my trunk's key pocket. Good memories. Mike

keep your head exactly on top of your seat. slouch down low to gain more stability. as long as you keep your upper body at the center of the yak, you'll be fine. i fished an OK scrambler 11 and scambler xt (12ft) both are a bit tippy seeing as how i surf/snowboard/skate/bike and have decent balance.. i cant even kneel up on the damn yaks. crawling to the front hatches of those things is hell unless you lay down and scoot up slowly.
