I got my brand new Stomper 90...
I went from paddling a dagger axis, and perception corsica for the last year and a half or so. to this shiny brand new stomper, there was some excitement and practical giddiness. and then I got it in the water......
If i lean at all or shift weight in any way the boat is very happy two do a 180. I had the body strength to hold myself correct for part of the trip, but by the end of the paddle i was a sack of spinning tired.
The seat is centered, i did still get some leg cramps so i'm thinking of trying moving the foot bar another peg forward, but I don't think thats causing the spinning. Is it just Really bad form? or should I change something? I am leaning forward in "attack position" when this happens.
Don't get me wrong I love being able to spin on a dime, but I generally want to choose when to spin.
TLDR: my new boat spins and I'm not sure why.
ps aside from my failure to control, I do love the boat.
