The day finally came Sunday to pick up the new pa12. I was at the end of a 12hour night shift but that didn't matter. It's a little over two hours to South West Kayaks from where I live but that didn't matter either. I was focused on getting this 12foot fishing machine home. As soon as I got back into Henderson, I loaded the wifes SUP and we headed for the lake. This thing is everything I could possibly ask for! It's stable,turns on a dime and rediculously faster than paddling the Ascend fs10. The wife and I took her d10 and my pa12 to willow beach yesterday and the wind kicked up pretty hard out of the south as it does there alot in the afternoon. She was loosing ground and couldn't get away from the rocks. I simply peddled over to her and through a tow line on her and drug her back through the chop and into calmer water. The pa was right at home towing another kayak even right into wind that was topping 30mph easily. I never once had a fear of tipping. I thought I was in my father inlaws bass boat at times. All I can say is wow! I already have the larger rudder and fishfinder installed. Just waiting for that next gotta have mod for it. Thanks south west kayaks! You guys are a pleasure to deal with
