Get the Popcorn Ready - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I posted a link to that article 5 months ago (http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...9&postcount=34) and the snippet posted above makes sense to me. Raising your legs raises your CG which of course causes a loss in stability, which means having to make a wider kayak to compensate. What you do with your free hands is your business. I know that placing my legs wider on a yak seems to give me more stability and control as well. Yea the guy is trying to sell his kayaks, but his ideas seem thought out and based in science.

I can't believe that you guys would be so defensive over an article written 5 years ago by a guy trying to hock his "kayak". The search button is great for research, but they used to think the world was flat too!
