The rudder on the Passport is a real pain since it cannot easily be raised or lowered from within the boat.  I'm looking at upgrading mine and there's not much on the market for the Passport yet.  I did find a guy in Bulgaria that seems to have modded an aftermarket rudder to fit the passport by way of a modded rudder pin.  However, I'm too new to the kayak scene to be able to identify the rudder.

Here's a screengrab from the video:

That is very similar to a Wilderness Systems rudder with the pin. In fact I would say that is a WS knockoff rudder.

Looks like a knockoff of this one: http://topkayaker.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73_88&products_id=2030

Would you agree?
