Hi Bob, You might be interested in putting a link from my recent YouTube video clip featuring Grant Hyland in a Sea Leopard kayak. It shows the seamanship of Grant and the kayak.

Hello, the greenlander pro is an entirely different kayak to the sea leopard which is a far superior sea kayak to pretty well anything else out there.
prices for a standard Sea Leopard wich includes quite a lot is $3880.00,( standard options are listed on the Sea Leopard page.
I no longer produce the Greenlander.

I would like to get one sea leopard second generation but I live in Puerto Rico, and I don’t know if I can get one of those great kayaks. Please, let me know so we can make a deal.

What is the cockpit (clear) size and the height of the deck in front of the cockpit. As a large paddler these dimensions are critical to me.
