It is a smooth ride on those smooth surfaces. It gets up on plane pretty quick and that helps in small chop but if there’s a lot of wind on the surface or somewhat of a swell it can get pretty bouncy and a lot of spray off the front. They are light riders unlike most boats that have some weight to them. I’ve seen videos of guys taking one over to Catalina off Long Beach but that was on a pretty nice day.

I’ve pushed mine though some pretty good winds and it did fine… I don’t think I would ever hesitate to go but I do read the water where ever I am and try to find shelter to work around on the way in.

I tend to use ours in protected waters like Conception Bay and nearby off shore islands. Having spent the money on something new I feel pretty good about not suffering a breakdown and being subject to the winds in the Sea of Cortez.
