the kippewa is what i use for a solo boat as i am a VLP (very large paddler), it comes with a kneeling thwart, designed for the guy who wants to use it solo. i am more comfortable on my garage engineered, structural foam kneeling saddle... which i can use in almost any tandem boat.....
for a paddler who might see shallow water frequently, the asymmetrical hull offers some additional efficiency with little penalty..... john w
