@pauls199 Hey Paul! Every boat is great, as long as it meets your needs! The CD Storm was one of the first boats I ever paddled,on courses and training. The Storm is a dependable, stable, rugged boat. It can satisfy the beginner to intermediate paddler. For a plastic boat, it boasts pretty decent storage for over-night trips. If you can find a 2nd-hand boat, it should maintain its re-sale value for several years. It is not a 'playful' boat, but it is not a 'pig' either...
Great video and great Kayak! Thanks for posting. I am new to kayaking. Just purchased an Ocean Kayak Trident 13 Sit on Top. Here in South Florida. I love it. Hopefully next year I will purchase a sit inside like your Current Designs. Blessings-Anthony.
Look relax and enjoying the ride nice video, I bought my first sea kayak last month June 20111, a CD sirocco, just finished 4 days on Bay Fundy had a blast need to go out more and try for the next many years to learn half of what you can do.. Awesome and inspiring from I'm 64...:)
@Mr23779 Nice! Yes Mr23779 - the white boat is indeed a CD Sirrocco. Probably my favorite plastic boat I've ever paddled. The Yellow boat I'm paddling is a CD Gulfstream. they have very similar hull designs, both skeg boats.
Color me jealous! Having owned both a Squamish and a Solstice GTS HV, I'm familiar with CD kayaks and love them. I'm in the market for another kayak and the Sirocco is on my short list.
@ranwood1 Personal choice primarily. It is a Greenland Style paddle. Narrower blade, and shorter length than Euro-style paddle. Less fatigue in shoulders, especially during prolonged periods of paddling (hours/days/weeks/months). Designed to allow for hand positioning at any point along paddle (tip to tip). Plus personal pride since I made it...
your videos are very inspiring to we novice paddlers, do you teach technique? or recommend teachers of your awesome skills?

Awesome video. Our lakes just froze over, so I must wait until spring. Thinking of buying a CD Storm GT (fits my budget). Any thoughts?

Ive only had my kayak one and a half seasons.
Any time on the water is wonderful. Day, night, sun, wind, rain and waves.
Its never the same and that is part of the joy of paddling.
Great vid. Looking forward to some big water some day
