My first yak was a Stealth-12 which some guys love, but it wasn't cutting it for me for various reasons. Point is just go find what works for you. Upgrade to something that does what you need and you'll be happier. If you're having problems now just in the bay, it's not going to get any easier in the swell and chop. There's a few good options at various price points and the experts here will no doubt give you good advice on your next kayak.
that is what my plans are. I bought the ascend because of the price and good reviews from lake fisherman. Once I bought it though I realized how sluggish it handles and how we the ride is. One problem is I don't live close to the beach areas so every thing is a trip. I need to go by some of the shops and see if I can try some out, test drive so to speak.
