How does an Ocean Kayak handle in rough water?

Very well. The additional width in the hull makes it more stable, so the paddler can spend more energy on paddling and less on balancing. Balancing on a narrow, tippy boat can be very fatiguing. The bow design keeps spray down and creates extra lift so it remains buoyant, even in rough conditions.
