Excellent product, value and service!
Purchased this inflatable to be as close to a hard shell as possible. Additionally wanted something to fit myself and a child, however the ability to go out alone. Tracks straight, turns when needed, and has decent speed. Used in open water with 1 foot waves and some power boat wakes, cuts well. As a single has lots of space, optional foot pegs and deck really complete the experience. Would recommend, only drawback is you need to dry it when returning home…
Have had the Kayak for about a month, taken it out camping twice. Three paddles, First time as solo, tracks fast compared to a traditional canoe. Just as heavy so I would recommend getting a cart. Next two trips with my wife and both dogs (35 and 65 lbs) no issue on reasonably calm lakes. Its a great option if a hardshell kayak isn't an option. The carrying case is easy to get the kayak back into with a bit of extra room for paddle float, throw line, bilge pump and maybe a few other items. Near perfect for our usage.
Quick to set up and deflate. Maneuverable and stable. Only challenge is getting it back into the carrying case!
Much better then expected, goes straight but also can turn on a dime. Dropstich floor is great invention, provides good insulation from cold water.
