Good commentary. I got a deal on an Exped 138 (the smaller version of this 150) last fall... was out on it yesterday in breeze/wavy reservoir, and unexpectedly tipped over due to repeating broadside wave patterns (the 138 is only 30" wide and feels quite tippy). I got back up and stayed up, but it required focus that kept me from totally enjoying just being out there. I chose the 138 due to my light weight (i'm 5'-11" but a 150# string bean) but am left wondering who the Exped series are really intended for. I find myself favoring my family's Waterwalkers (126 or even the smaller 120) as they're more stable and still track straight enough (particularly with a bit of paddle feathering / j-stroke-like). Anyway, debating maybe switching to Waterwalker 132 (11') since I realistically won't be "expeditioning" and mainly just paddling a few miles on inland waterways (and its stability might be really helpful if I'm carrying a playmate-like cooler stuffed with lunch for a family of four. Trying to get my head around what it means to expedition, if built into that definition is inherent tippyness that works against you in broadside waves.
