Looks like Ascend stepped it up. I don't think it will obviously be as good as the Diablo or K12, but looks to be a good value for the money.

Marsh, rivers, lakes, ponds. There's so many options I feel more limited in a boat. I can get to places that a boat can't. For example a pond that has no launch but has nice bass. Not always an option to walk the bank and sometimes you don't want to so that anyway. I've been in plenty of marsh areas that were too shallow for most boats. Offshore is about the only place I can't/won't go, but that doesn't stop many people from doing it. It's the fastest growing aspect of the fishing world.

You are able to fish slower in a yak an reach spots regular boats can't touch. I prefer to fish from a yak about 90% of the time. Yes, it has its limits but its what I like to do.

Many times I've casted in less than a foot of water without seeing anything and hooking up. Caught my biggest one that way in Pensacola.

Sweet looking yak but seems like it would be a lot more unstable with that flat deck.

deck flatness =/= stability factor

width = stability factor

has to also with how flat the bottom of the kayak is, like you said not the top. and also a tunnel hull will be damn stable
