I decided to put all three kayaks to the test. Enjoy and no laughing..  Santa Cruz Raptor Jackson Cuda14 FeelFree Moken14 As they say, the proofs in the pudding. Raptor - Came in 1st on stability and 1st on re-entry. Cuda - Came in 3rd on stability and 2nd on re-entry. Moken - Came in 2nd on stability and 3rd on re-entry.

That's cool Joe! Maybe I should bring my ride over and you can test them all with a few more lbs and a much higher center of gravity.
Did I hear Mrs Cuda snickering in the background? JJ

Pfffft! Really, I wasn't even going to go there. Lol Stability and re-entry on the PA has a class of its own.

I love this true comparison video idea. I know there is A LOT of other features about a kayak that makes it attractive. But for a stability test this is pretty cool. We need to find a little skinny dude to try the other end of the scale for test too.
Ok, in one month we are all going to grab our kayaks and meet over at Cudadude's house for some testing.........;)
