What is this "surf" thing of which you speak? Nothing like that here in Utah...LOL!

I bought my PA14 exactly 17 days ago. If I had had the option, I think I would have still gone with the 14. For one thing, the shorter length would make it harder to load atop my Durango. By the time I had the bow up on the rack, the shorter 'yak would be almost vertical. Plus, I'd lose two rod holders, and the four in the 12 would be shorter, to boot. The new seat may or may not be better; those arm rests might be more in the way than I'd like. The handles seem too far back to mount anything on, or even use as fish measurers. Then there's the fact that I'm not a Lowrance guy.

One thing I DO like is the new paddle holder system on the left handle. I'd LOVE that on my 14.
