I would not consider a 14′,25″ wide kayak a touring boat and with proper edging and strokes that “touring” boat can turn faster than the fat ones.

The title of this …
The title of this video should have been “If you buy a wider “recreational” boat then you wont have to worry about rolling over like those crazy helmet wearing waterfall kayakers.”
A lot of people want to get a kayak but dont want to do all that whitewater x-games stuff. They just want to fish or mess about on a lake or pond.
