db you're showing the first signs. You need to test paddle lots of solos,,,then get a different one for all the different water you paddle, creeks, lakes, whitewater,,,,,it only gets worse from here ;D

All kidding aside. I test paddled a Prism. Thought it was a neat idea, got me looking around for a tripping solo. But a prism wasn't really the answer for me. I also found it too wide at the paddling position.

Shorter solos can have a fixed bench and do fine. Longer solos seem to have a sliding seat, and may need them more. You might have had some answers to you're handling if you could have easily adjusted your trim on the fly.

Let me now when you need two hands to count your boats,,,at times I've had to take my shoes off too ;D
