Ultimate Big-Water Kayak Test - Stealth, Swell, Lekker, & Legend (Kayak Angler POV)

Ruben (The importer on the West Coast for Stealth) put me in a Swell Scupper 16, Legend Trident, Stealth Profisha 575, and a Lekker Petrel to see what I thought. Many of these kayaks aren't well known in the USA but have more fans overseas. I have over 15 years of kayak angling experience in Norcal and beyond. He wanted not only a paddler's opinion, but a kayak angler's perspective specifically, and I was delighted to be a test dummy. We had a lot of fun, and I cannot thank Ruben enough for this opportunity. Which kayak would you like to see Ruben sell in California? How would you rig it for great days on the water? Leave it in the comments.
