The MisT makes it easy for a paddler to show of their paddling skills. This kayak will dance around your paddle. Solid secondary stability makes edging and lean turns a breeze. The MisT has a snug cockpit with thigh braces that grip yet with its high deck, allows for wiggle space during those long paddles. Impressive initial stability for a 22.5" kayak gives the novice paddler plenty of confidence.
