I would have to agree, in bad weather I would rather be in a trident 15 than anything else, and I don't know why people think its unstable or easy to tip over, I fished on one for over 5 years and never accidentally tipped it over except for the occasional bad beach landing, I have also been in some seriously bad weather up north in it that I would never want to be in with my new x factors, almost makes me want to buy another trident right after I just spent forever selling mine. Haha

Glad you mentioned Self Rescue practice Eric, was first thing that came to my mind when i saw video.
On that Subject, Maybe we should do a surf/self rescue clinic, What you think Eric? You are one of the best paddlers I know, might be a fun time.
