I have not pushed the Solo Skiff to its full potential until this past weekend, going out with Mark, Nick and other owners. It is safer to go faster because you would ride on top of the swells and chops. It's a little nerve racking at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's not bad. If you go slow, you get pushed around by the swells and chops, like you would in a kayak.
Here is my video of the trip.
