I think i have seen most youtube vids on the 155 now...lol...it seems to be the one to buy for sea "playboating"...its a gem of a kayak.....but i will have to sell the RTM YSAK first ...there are 3 kayaks in the back garden...4 is not an option (I wish).... The ysak is a lovely stable boat ...but its just a bit long for surfing...

Don't like the bit about "The front and rear bulkheads are made of high density black foam and these have remained secure with use. The edges are totally watertight but there is a hole in the middle through which the hatch cover securing elastic passes."
Why would you put a hole in your Bulkheads!!! Surely you could attach the bungees some other way....make sure everything in the hatches is dry bagged.

ya i saw that in a review...and a squirt of sealant was the fix....having said that the hatch in any kayak can leak...a knock... not fitted correctly...so i never trust a hatch cover! I am going to go for it i think!

Very well made...a little heavy at 26 kg...rock steady stable ...wants to go on even the smallest wave...but i havent surfed it yet....great looking too, and it should be easy to roll the back is very low....i love it! I have a feeling i will be having some fun over the summer......
