Wind Dancer

I bought a 25 yr old windancer from craigslist. I am 5"11" and 225 lbs. I am not a novice kayaker, but not extremely experienced. The kayak is incredibly stable, let me say that again, incredibly stable. I have the kevlar one at 50lbs. It has a spacious cockpit for large paddlers, has good tracking and motion and allows good manuverability with rudder. I would overwhelmingly recommend this kayak for a beginner to intermediate kayaker, and if you are a large size paddler, so much the better. It is made extremely well, and my new to me kayak, looks almost new. They should be available on the used kayak market, from people who have learned from it and are moving on to faster, more tippy less stable ones.

For a big boat she leans & carves nicely and tracks spot on. The cockpit is spacious for easy entry & exit. The peaked deck has certainly been an attribute in some pretty rough water even though it can catch some wind. As with all Eddyline boats the workmanship is exceptional and they just look great.

Although Eddyline stopped production of the Wind Dancer around 2002 to make way for lighter composite (Carbonlite/Modulus) boats, should you want a stable sturdy platform pick up a used one. But then again I haven't seen many of em for sale!
