New sprint boat!

I tried a new sprint boat on the bay today. I'm still a beginner in sprint so I've been paddling a pretty slow, stable, boat, but my coach just moved me up today into another kayak.
Sprint K1
So I went ahead and tried it. I fell in 5 times and barely even got 50 feet. I was standing in the water emptying the boat once again when my coach yelled that I'd taken the wrong one. I'd accidentally grabbed a way more advanced and tippier boat than I was ready for, but I got in the intended boat and was able to paddle it well and really zero in on my technique. I felt like a bit of an idiot, but ultimately it was a relief.
I was supposed to take the boat below the blue one
