Solo

We got two of these when our youngest daughter turned two years old. She and her sister have been paddling around the Gulf Islands of British Columbia on these things non-stop for more than 6 years and they still look and perform as new...and that is with a heck of a lot of abuse.

At 10 and 13 The Girls are finally starting to outgrow these boats but I cannot stress what an excellent value they have been. Tonne of fun, stable, durable, visible and easy to throw in the back of the van. I'm looking forward to passing them onto the next lucky kids as we move up to bigger boats.

My 7-year has recently become interested in learning how to paddle. We borrowed a Pelican Solo Sit-on Kayak from some friends and off we went to the lake. The kayak was fairly easy to maneuver on land and fit in the back of our pick up nicely. My daughter was able to get on the kayak with no trouble. She grabbed the paddle and off she went. The kayak was very stable for her and easy to paddle around the lake. It was her first time solo kayaking and she had no trouble at all getting the kayak to move in the direction she wanted. This is a really great learning kayak for littles.

I actually just found one of these by a dumpster at an apartment complex where my boyfriend works. I was joking with some friends about how it's probably being thrown out because it was terrible so we decided to take it to the pool to try it out.
As a 5'10" 145lb woman, it worked AMAZING. To whomever commented saying the weight capacity is more like 105lbs, they are totally wrong. Even though we found it out to be more of a youth kayak, we had grown men (200+lbs) on it without any issue other than they were too tall for it! I can't wait to take it on the river

Have to rate this for what it is: a kids toy to get them interested in paddling. A solid 10 in that respect, the kids love them. We've had them for a few weeks now and the kids are now using them as paddle boards; they are that stable.

My kids are 9 and 7 and on the smaller side but my 125lb niece was using it and having a great time, with a slightly wet butt from waves and riding lower. My 100 lb wife uses it easily and it has spurred us to buy kayaks ourselves. The kids easily climb back on them in the water. I have watched them intentionally flip them many times, flip them back over and jump back up. My wife said they are extremely stable even riding over boat wakes. She said to flip it it pretty much has to be intentional (accidents happen though). They are very durable, I dropped a rope through the front drain holes and tied it from the bottom and towed it behind my 30hp inflatable for some white water kayaking. My 16 and 18 year old nieces said they prefer it to tubing since you can lean in the corners to stay on. If jumping waves dragging them behind a boat didn't break them I'm not sure what will. I think they will last a long time.
The family the plays together stays together.
