Fusion™ 124 (10’4")

trying to find out how to order parts. such as seats and screws

This kayak has stood up to the test in lakes and rivers of both rock bottom and large branches. I'm extremely rough on my kayaks and for the money, this is my favorite backup kayak (almost becomes my primary on most days). It's got great balance, cuts through water, and with the adjustable foot positions I fit comfortably at 6'4". The cupholder is always a nice convenience and the trunk has decent space. The only downside of this kayak is the extremely thin backrest, it's a necessity to have an additional backpad if you're going to be spending hours at a time or consecutive days on the water. For the durability and overall quality of the kayak, the 350-400$ price range is a damn good deal!

The Fusion 124 is a fantastic and capable mid- priced starter kayak. While it paddles a little wet with heavy chop, it is extremely stable and you never feel a loss of control or track, no matter the conditions. With its 300lb capacity, you can easily store enough gear for a day trip or weekend excursion downriver. The rear storage compartment is ample, with a water- proof removable cover accessible from the cockpit, and the front-of- seat area has a clear unobstructed center line from the cockpit rim to the bow for more storage. For the weekender who dreams of larger voyages on occasion but doesn't want to break the bank, the Fusion 124 fits the bill perfectly.

I love this girl! I live on the Hudson river in NY and use it all the time. It is the exact one that unfortunately, 5 miles down river from me, a man lost his life. Take it from me, because I have kayaked there.. It was not caused by the plug being removed! This is a very stable kayak!! It sits low in the water, but I have Never felt unsafe. (I pushed the limit one time with severe whitecaps on the river... And it took everything I had to remain perpendicular to the waves, but we rocked it)Its very fast! Only complaint..The seat is awful- bottom fell out, need to replace. No back support. But I still love her!!!

As a novice paddler I love the stability of my Fusion! I pushed off a log and tipped it slightly which made my kayak fill with water but it didn't flip. I also went down a clsss II backwards and out of my seat (don't ask, haha) and made it safely through. My husband said it was just luck but I bet I would have fallen out in a tippier kayak! That was my first trip and I've learned a lot since then but I still like the stable ride and large cockpit for easy access. I didn't give it 5 stars because I'd like a paddle keeper and a comfier seat for long floats. It didn't have a sealed bulkhead so we used empty two liter bottles and sprayed foam insulation to keep it from sinking if waterlogged. I'm Pretty sad that Dick's Sporting Goods has stopped carrying it, as it costs way too much on other sites for the value. I need an extra kayak but I don't want to pay more than I feel it's worth. I paid around $300 for mine and I've really enjoyed it.

Great Kayak! This is a nice beginner kayak with one piece construction and fair tracking. Somewhat fast for it's type and weight, it's perfect for paddling leisurely on a lake or slow-moving river. Very stable on the water. Foot pegs are adjustable & adequate. Center cup holder is a bonus for a drink or possibly cellphone/small camera. On the negative side -the thin seat isn't very comfortable and the rear storage would be better with a separate chamber, but for the price (maybe $180-250 depending on sales) those things should definitely be overlooked and solved via accessories. I got a small seat/cushion for a few bucks and there are inexpensive dry packs or even some solid containers that will fit in the stow area. All in all, not too many complaints for this awesome entry-level boat.

This was the first kayak I bought and the main reason for the purchase was the price. I figured if I really got into kayaking, I could always buy a better model in the future. The main issue with this kayak is that is it open and if you flip and their is a strong current, then your kayak may sink. To resolve this issue, I bought 12 pool noodles and zip tied 6 of them and placed in the front and back of the kayak. Then I used spray foam to cover the noodles to give my kayak buoyancy. This fixed the issue and now my kayak goes about 3" under water and stops in a heavy current river.

Our first Kayak was a 16ft Perception Tandem Kayak. Which we recently heard is nicknamed the divorce boat! We used it for 10 years, but sold it before moving. We purchased two FB Fusion 124's and took them out the next day. They are great! We loved the ease of getting in and out of the boat, plenty of speed, and love the cup holder for our waters. They are light enough too that we can easily carry them to the launch and get them up and down from the Jeep rack. I have the bright raspberry and my husband has the lime green, so you can't miss us on the road or in the water! Great kayaks! We are very happy!

This is one of the best options out there for beginners. It is low cost but offers a lot of decent things. It is very stable and tracking is pretty good. The seat is a little bit hard and could use some extra padding, and I just keep a $5 stadium seating pad with me.

Purchased one for myself, one for my wife. Both of us are first time kayakers with about and year of use now with these yaks. We have used our Future Beaches in lakes, rivers and for fishing. Purchased aftermarket bolt on gear and set up mine specifically for fishing.

We love them and couldn't be happier with these kayaks. Easy to carry by one person, very stable on the water and paddles quick while tracking straight. Stuff a few pool noodles inside bow and stern for buoyancy and you will never sink if capsized.

Great price for an excellent little boat. Have only capsized once, on purpose, to test buoyancy added with pool noodles. Voila! Floats When filled with water with noodles added! Both of ours have aftermarket half skirts and they're great for covering legs from sun and a little extra splash protection from waves and paddle.

Great beginners boat, very stable and tracks well. I purchased two of these new this year on sale for $250 each. These kayaks have taken a beating and are holding up very well. I have tried several other kayaks and own 2 other Pelican kayaks, but these are always the first choice by everyone in the family.

I won this kayak with a $5 raffle ticket, had never kayaked before. I just love it. It's stable, tracks well, handles easily for a complete novice, and is light enough that I can carry it from truck to launch if I'm alone. I did have to modify the seat (really uncomfortable); I got a couple of foam stadium seats from Dick's for the seat and back and now I can paddle for hours in comfort. Also, the foot pegs didn't adjust short enough (I'm 5'2"), so I replaced them with Sea-Lect foot braces (which are much easier to use anyway). I need to add paddle clamps and maybe another set of bungee cords behind the seat. But I'm thrilled to have it and can't imagine outgrowing this one for what we're interested in doing (lakes and flat water creeks).

I am relatively new to kayaking but this boat will definitely get the job done... I have kayaked a good bit over the years but this is my first one of my own. This boat has everything that is necessary for a great float. It's 10ft long, large storage compartment in the rear, and bungees up front to hold gear securely in case you need it in a hurry. This boat has pretty comfortable seat, cup holder, easy to adjust foot pegs, and a nice amount of space in the boat for its price range. I'm 6'0, 160 pds and this is a nice boat for the price as far as I'm concerned.

Great kayak at good price but we forgot to check placement of foot rests. Unlike other kayaks of this size, rests could not be adjusted short enough to fit my kayaking partner....other brands and models have such flexibility. Disappointed and returning kayak.

Great kayak overall. Excellent turning and stability.
It does surprisingly well in rough water. Mostly use it on the Hudson River between Bayonne and Hoboken. Even paddled around the statue of liberty a few times in high winds and high swells.

Although extremely stable, try to add a floatation bag or 2 to the inside of your hull if going out on rough water. Also be mindful of your slow speed in relation to boats in high traffic areas.

This is a great beginner kayak. I bought one from a man who purchased it as a first boat and took it into a class 3 the first time out. The kayak survived, but he will never attempt paddling again. The seat is miserable, so plan on replacement with an upgrade, but my daughter loves its stability and durability, and I love that I got her a great beginner boat at a steal. It's nowhere near the quality of my Pungo, but for the money is a good value. I'm looking for two more so that I have some extras for taking newbie guests out..

This is my first kayak and it has worked out quite well. My wife and I each bought kayaks on July 7. Her's is a different brand which is rated very well. I have had the opportunity to compare the two, and while hers is nicer looking I like the Fusion 124 better. I think it tracks and handles better.

I've been out at least twice a week since getting them. Great for fishing, my golden retriever loves it, and except for the seat (uncomfortable) (bought a deer stand cushion - problem solved), have had no trouble at all.

This kayak is recreational and is very stable with plenty of room to move around. It is great on lakes and moderate rivers. It even has a cup holder built in.

Love this cheap boat! Learned to kayak in this, great stability, I have taken on two foot white caps and assorted boat wakes and never felt at all like i was tipping. I used to look forward to those conditions because this boat was fun and felt safe in it.

However, as far as traveling, it's like dragging a chain link fence through a swamp, very stable, VERY slow. My girlfriend always left me in the dust in her Old Town Loon. Especially when we were out for three to four hours on the lake.

Cheaply made with cheap materials, I could easily bend and flex every part of this boat, and had it buckle when I sat behind the edge of the cockpit for a few seconds(I weigh 180#) even felt the whole boat flexing under strong waves. Makes me think of a whiffle ball bat. Parts fell off a footbrace, extra half drilled holes (looks like they missed a few times) and no type of flotation.

But for two hundred and fifty bucks, it was a great investment, and worth the money, this low price made it possible for me to fall in love with kayaking, and I will be thankful to my former (sold and replaced) Future Beach for that.

Loved it, but hated a lot about it. The seat! Cheap, flimsy, little padding and little support, but was always comfortable, even for three to four hours at a time! Go figure. Had this out two dozen times from July to November before finding it a new owner, it was real fun, definitely worth the money, but you will soon outgrow it.

I've had mine for about 5 years now and have used it on mainly slower class 1 tops rivers. It's taken a good beating and while I may have broken the seat, a foot peg, and scraped it over a billion rocks, it's held up well. It's taken a lot of abuse for $199. It's now my loaner and I fully expect it to last another 40 float trips.

Bought at Dick's for $269 (not sure last years price of $199 will happen again). Stable and decent for the price. The seat is not very comfortable but I've used worse. My only real complaint is that every unit I looked at in the store had cosmetic flaws like big deep scratches, partially drilled holes in weird places, large abrasion areas, blotchy color of the plastic, etc.

I purchased this boat from Dick's Sporting Goods in Dec. 2012, and my wife first used it in Feb. 2013 on a trip to Florida. The first time out a buckle on the seat adjusting strap broke. Shortly afterwards, a second buckle broke, and after that, one of the carry straps broke! All this under normal use by a 120 lb. woman. I attempted to contact the manufacturer by email and phone over a dozen times to get replacements under warranty, but never had a response--or even reached anyone there for that matter. Dick's customer service was not much better--first telling me they could not help, and then giving me the same manufacturer's number that had been ignored previously. Finally I disputed the charge on my credit card and the card company contacted the original store where the boat was purchased. To the store manager's credit, he OKed taking the straps off another boat for me. All in all, a bad experience. My advice--don't go near Fusion Beach. (You may want to check reviews at Dick's web site--many similar stories.)

I friend took me out kayaking for the first time this year, he put me in a Future Beach Trophy 12 footer and all I can say is that I was hooked. I asked him if I could borrow his two kayaks so that my wife and I could go out (this being my wife's first time), let's just say after that trip we were in the market for two kayaks. We saw the Fusions on sale @ Dick's for $199.00 and we bought two. These kayaks are what they say, very stable and light to transport, I have since then started to outfit mine for fishing and also add a camera mount.

I have purchased 2 Fusion 124 on 6/24/12 and I have never been in one and always wanted to try out a kayak but since I can't swim I always had the fear of tipping them over. So I went out with my 3 boys and wife they went out and came back then it was my turn... What can I say, these are great super stable and fun for my first time in one. If there is someone who has never been in one, try these models out. I'm no expert at Kayaking but am an expert on not swimming...LOL.

These are great for the beginner and if you want to get into the sport or just fun. I picked them up at Dick's and went straight to the lake. What a fun time: BBQ and Kayaks.

We purchased this kayak because friends of ours had purchased one about 6 months prior and after a test run with theirs we liked it. Our biggest complaint is the fact that they have changed the storage compartment design. Previously it was a water resistant compartment with a small bowl. Now it is a large compartment but anything you put in it gets wet because it is open to the underside of the seat area. Still has the water resistant cover, but any water that gets in the kayak runs to this area. Not happy about this. Am attempting to contact Future Beach and see if there is an insert for this area. Other than that we like the kayak. Mainly used for lake and river kayaking.

Very good kayak for the money - but note my rating of 8 out of 10 is based on the price/value. There are a few very minor flaws, and if this were an expensive kayak I'd actually be very disappointed and would have rated it lower.

As advertised, it is very stable even when getting in and out. The seat at least has a bit of padding and a bit of adjustability for the back, and the cup holder is a nice touch. The kayak is just a little too wide (I'm a 5'9" male) and you'll find yourself scraping the edge of it with your paddle from time to time. Same with the cockpit opening; too large. Water will drip and splash onto your legs unless you get a half-skirt. The rim of the cockpit is plain hard plastic with no padding. This next flaw may just be my kayak, but when I stop paddling the kayak will always start trending to the left, even if my last stroke was on the left. This is a little noticeable during constant paddling as well. The storage hatch in the rear is fairly watertight but it is just a tiny pocket - the area behind the seat is not accessible. There are no bulkheads so if you swamp this kayak it will be extremely heavy.

Overall the kayak is great for tooling around lakes and streams, but it is dumpy and wide, so you'll find yourself struggling to keep up if you're out on the lake with a buddy who has a slim, streamlined kayak. If you're just going to paddle 10 times per year or so on lakes and mild streams/creeks and want a cheap, stable kayak, this is it. Be prepared to spend about $40 on extras like a half-skirt and some padding for the rim (visit the weatherstripping area of Lowe's, etc). In some situations you'll laugh at your buddies who got upsold to a $1800 kayak, but in other situations you'll wish you had a faster/slimmer kayak.

I got two Fusion 124 for Fathers Day at Dicks; great buy and a great salesperson… I have been having a ball with the wife kayaking. The kayaks were comfortable from day one and easy to maneuver. The only concern I have is the top of the seats are already starting to fray with wear just from sitting in it and almost all the rubber grommets holding the seats on are gone or came out.. Attempting to email the company is a waste of time, no email..

Purchased Future Beach 124 from Dicks. 3rd time out the plastic foot peg broke. Could not find a replacement so I called FB The price was 19.95 plus 24.95 shipping. a little high for plastic junk.

The Fusion for its price is unbeatable. I've modified mine; I've added expanding foam to to front and back (keep drain clear) the foam keeps it a float even when completely filled with water, I've reinforced both pedal by installing metal L brackets with padding wrapped around them for comfort. With out reinforcing pedals they are going to break off from sliding track. All modifications 30$.

I recently purchased 2 of these kayaks at Dicks for their 4th of July Sale price!!! One for me and one for my husband... we like to go Canoeing, but I like to be in charge... and he likes to be in charge... so we thought we should have separate vessels!! We absolutely loved them!!! We kayak on the Pentwater River... We start where people don't usually go (to much brush... and fallen trees for normal people.. and the river is very narrow and curvy).

These kayaks are almost impossible to tip over, I can even stand up in mine and paddle (as long as it is a straight of way)!! Our Friends recently got Dagger kayaks, and paid about twice as much as us, and they do not have the cup holder, nor are they as stable as ours. If you wanted to go do some "extreme" kayaking, then maybe opt for a more expensive kayak, but for recreation...which is what this is made for...it is perfect.

Yes, the foot pedals are a little cheap, and the seats are a little uncomfortable for a six plus hour ride (we plan on getting new seats), and there is no place to put my 112 lb lab (need to make some modifications for him), but all in all we love our kayaks!!!

Another complaint that I have seen is when they tip over...which it is hard to tip over, they will fill completely up with water... this is true, but our friends Dagger he recently purchased is the exact same way...he did tip over, and had to haul his to shore, and empty it...and it was a struggle!! Point being the more expensive "recreational" Kayak was designed the exact same way as these!!! I also notice that the worst review on this page is from someone who only looked at the kayak, and did not personally try it out!!!

We love them... and I think we made a great decision in purchasing them for "recreation"!!

Seat and foot pedals as cheap as you can get.
Stability great even with a 75# dog aboard

We've had our Fusion 124 for about one year and have enjoyed it for general small lake use here in the windy Midwest. It is a good beginner model and handles well on windy lakes here. The only issue we've had is the right pedal assembly broke last weekend. We only hope we can find a replacement part for it from the manufacturer. I see another review recently had the exact issue with their Fusion as well.

I'm an avid and experienced open ocean sea-kayaker who's paddled his 18' Chesapeake West River all along the coast of Maine - I know a good boat when I paddle one! I was looking for sturdy and decent handling little plastic beater boat to run some of the bony New England creeks and rivers that would destroy my mahogany boat. I stumbled on this boat at Costco and after some comparison shopping figured that, although it's heavy for its size, it seemed well designed and very good deal, pricewise (329 including a serviceable paddle and a one of those foam block rooftop carriers with straps).

I've paddled it twice, and actually like it.
Comfortable to sit in, room for my size 11 1/2 feet and 180 lb self (and I can put the footpegs beyond the reach of my feet), very stable, and tracks surprisingly well for such a short boat. Definitely not an open water boat, or one you'd want to spend the day in. It's not fast, either, but performs as well as any short boat I've paddled. I'm definitely keeping it, and buying a skirt to fit it, too. The same hull with slightly different deck designs is sold by Dick's, EMS, and REI. Costco's deal is by far the best.

This is an update to my previous review.
I've been paddling my Fusion 124 for over a year now and still like it a lot. My previous complaint was with the uncomfortable seat. This was rectified by adding the Easy Rider seat that was listed as an option in the brochure I got with the kayak. I made some calls when I was trying to track down the seat and found out that parts are available through the Equinox Kayak website. I also ordered the thigh pads that were listed as an option but they don't fit the cockpit design of the Fusion. They mount to the underside of the deck which positions them too low to be usable.

I paddle a lot. I go at least once every weekend, starting in March and going into November, and my average trip length is 10 -12 miles. I have no complaints about comfort now, nor speed. My average paddling speed is 3.5 mph with no problems maintaining 4-5 mph for extended periods (GPS confirmed). Stability is also not a problem. The Fusion is a great platform for photography.
I have found a couple of down sides though.

1. The cockpit length makes it impossible to keep water out of the cockpit when I paddle. Maybe it's just me.
2. The bow height is too low for rougher water. It comes over the front and into the cockpit. Both of these could be recited by ordering a good sprayskirt. Seals has them available for the Fusion as a custom order. You can purchase them through any kayak shop that carries Seals products. I'm ordering one over the winter more for warmth in colder months than anything else.
3. If you capsize a Fusion you're in big trouble. My son did this in a riffle section of river. He's not an experienced paddler and got sideways, hit a rock, and turned over. The kayak filled completely with water and was EXTREMELY heavy. Fortunately the river was shallow enough that we could walk it to shore but it was all we could do to lift it to drain the water. If you stick to flatwater only these are not a problem, however, there's some faster water that I've been dying to try so I'm buying a Dagger Axis. I'm keeping my Fusion though, but I'm accessorizing to make it a little more "all purpose". In addition to a Seal "Sneak" sprayskirt, I'll be adding flotation bags and knee pads from Harmony Gear.

I ran into one other problem that was caused by my own carelessness but I'll pass it on anyway. The Easy Rider seat came with 1/4" plastic screws to mount the seat to the seat pan. The Fusion doesn't have threaded inserts however. I used the seat without mounting it for a while, but it moved around when I got into the kayak. I decided to drill holes in the seat pan for well nuts and this is where I ran into my problem. There's plenty of space between the pan and bottom at the front but not a lot at the rear. I was careless when drilling my rear holes and ended up drilling a 1/2" hole through the bottom of my kayak that I now have to repair. It's not that simple to repair thin polyethylene, so take great care when adding any holes.

First, I will cover the good things about the Fusion 124. Many have stated the kayak tracks well, and I would agree. Many have stated the kayak is extraordinarily stable under real river conditions, and I would agree. Many have mentioned the kayak is good for beginners looking to break into the hobby, and I would agree. Lastly, many reviewers have stated the low price point presents an affordable alternative to other manufacturers' offerings, and I would agree.

Now for the bad. Future Beach no longer makes this model of kayak, and Dick's Sporting Goods is selling their old stock. This does not fill me with confidence when looking for either accessories or parts. I have bought two of these kayaks in one week. The first Fusion 124 was a disappointment; the third time out, in the middle of a stroke, the right foot pad snapped. I returned it to Dick's, and got an orange Fusion to replace the blue one (good idea, given the copious amounts of PWC and motor boats on the Hudson River). The second kayak has the seat screws falling out, and there is no way to tighten them; the rubber covered brass fittings are stripped after one outing. Every stroke results in me getting drenched, so I bought a spray skirt; now water pools where the zipper pouch is. Adding insult to injury, I'm reading in the reviews that people have purchased the same Future Beach kayak for less at Dick's than I paid. Grrr!

After Reading the last review I checked out the recommended products. I question the thickness of the Fusion. It is ten foot four inches at 46 Lbs. The Dagger Blackwater is ten foot five inches at 43 Lbs. The Venture Flex is ten foot eight inches at 45 Lbs. So by weight and length which one is thicker plastic.
I'll keep my Fusion 10 for $200.00

Bought ours 3 weeks ago first time out the seat tour in half know you can't find replacement parts because the fusion 124 is not on the website any more so everyone good luck with yours. and Dick's doesn't sell replacement parts at all for the fusion 124 and are no help at all spent 2 1/2 hours there with no help to the problem they told me to call the company that made them and you can not any thing on the fusion 124

You get what you pay for.
There is a reason this kayak is so cheap: It's a cheap kayak. As long as the buyer understands that, then I suppose that's okay.

I am kayak instructor in the Great Lakes region. A client recently showed up with one of these boats for a full day course, so I had a chance to inspect it up close and personal. It's a thin rotomolded boat with a rotomolded seat that essentially consists of a backrest screwed to the seat stansions which are part of the mold of the boat. Because the mold is thin, the bolts holding the seat in were already stressing the plastic. I recommended that the owner put in larger stainless washers to back up the screw holes and hopefully prevent a crack.

The kayak itself is a pretty run of the mill design. The hatches are flimsy and leak, although it's kind of irrelevant because there is no rear bulkhead. The boat needs to be equipped with airbags in the front and rear or it will **entirely** swamp with water during a capsize.

There are no perimeter safety lines, simply a set of bungees on the front deck that are attached with plastic eyelets screwed right through the deck. The handles on the bow & stern are also screwed in. As long as the boat is dry, I suppose it's not an issue, but if you were attempting to haul a swamped boat (keeping in mind that the entire boat would fill with water) out of the water, then I wouldn't trust the grab handles to not pull through. The boat itself is a pretty run of the mill hull design. It's short, stable, and tracks moderately well.

The most distressing thing about this boat (besides the thinness of the construction) was the fact that the client called the manufacturer to ask if it had a rear bulkhead and was told it did. These aren't kayak designers. They make plastic things. Maybe at $200 (like the schillers for Dicks are promoting) the boat is worth it. But if the retail on this thing is really $400, I'd save up the extra $200 bucks and buy look at a boat like the Dagger Blackwater or Venture Flex.

I just picked up this kayak from Dick's Sporting Goods this weekend. The price was excellent at 199.99. Its got sufficient storage, drain plug, padded seat and back rest. The drink holder is crucial, which is located in the crotch area of the seat! The tracking is pretty damn good. I was tired of chasing down different kayak's on craigslist and just went and got this one on sale and am more than happy. I probably saved money as well as getting a new one! I am 6' 160 and it is easy to carry this thing around, and drain water out of it with the drain plug. Still need to get a skirt, but I'm waiting on my accessories that I ordered online first. My advice check out what they have at Dick's. Sit down in it at the store as well. Glad I did it last minute cause I almost got their Potomac 120 which was kind of a 2-piece kayak and not nearly as durable as the future beach! and it was only 20 bucks cheaper at 180. Good thing I spent the extra 20 bucks.

I bought two at Dick's for $200.00 dollars each. This is a great kayak for the price. It's very stable, easy to paddle, and light enough to carry on your shoulder. It tracks and glides well on flat calm water on a lake and tracks reasonably well on a river with a fairly swift current. It tracked better than a much more expensive Emotion AdvantEdge I paddled on the same river.

Initially I was having a problem with the bow moving side to side, but the problem turned out to be with my paddling skills. After an adjustment to my forward stroke, it tracked well. At 5'10" and 205 lbs., I'm very comfortable in the cockpit and have no trouble getting in and out. My only complaints are with the foot room at the pedals, and the seat. With my size 10-1/2 water shoes on, I have to angle my feet to fit. The seat gets uncomfortable after a couple of hours of paddling. I plan to remedy the seat problem over the winter by buying the optional Easy Rider II seat. The seat was advertised in the brochure that came the the kayaks, but I couldn't find it on the website. I called Future Beach and they gave me the telephone number for their parts warehouse. The gentleman at parts was very helpful and told me that the seat and the optional thigh supports could be found on the Equinox Kayaks website.

Overall, I think this is a great first kayak for someone wanting to get started without spending a lot of money. I only gave it a 9 because of the seat.

I am thrilled with the stability and smooth tracking of the Fusion 124. I have only tried it out in lakes so far but am looking forward to a trip down the West River in VT this month and expect it to perform well.
Better then the Coleman I have been using the last 4 years at half the price.

Very good kayak for the money. Extremely stable and easy to paddle. Great on rivers and on the lake. For less than $500 it's hard to beat - I picked up one on sale for $299 and love it!

Very stable, perfect for recreational paddling. It possessed features that are found on more expensive kayaks. I am going to buy 4 more of this for my entire family...
