Maybe if you spent 15 points for this advantage you wouldn't have to make DX checks for rough water to stay upright, but it is hard to see how this could be considered any kind of stable footing.
On something of a tangent, but a person in a kayak can paddle faster than a duck in the water. Or at least one person (me) in a kayak can paddle faster than most ducks in the water.
