I would definitely second that. Michelle at nelo.us / paddlecal.com is great and it can make a huge difference to get oriented in the right direction (technique-wise) from the beginning.I have never paddled a 550 but bought a 520 S (I’m small) in December, after taking two minilessons in September with a Nelo dealer and coach. The first session was at NAC, the second nearby starting from CG Beach. The lessons were well worth the cost!!!

You sacrifice basically 100% of your initial stability and a lot of your secondary stability as well for the speed...The drawbacks however remain regardless of where you paddle...
However, the ski is only really stable when moving you got to get going.
And from the experienced skiiers I talked to swimming and taking a dip will be a regular part of your diet.
If you need to stop and have a meal, do something that requires coordination like take a photo, check your sugar if you're diabetic, take asthma inhalers or observe wildlife that's off the table.
...I suggest holding on to your sea kayaks for the moment and taking more lessons but in the end you'll never be able to completely eliminate the tippiness.
