I am a dealer and I always try out every canoe or kayak I sell.
This is a recreational kayak with a large open cockpit and nice but plain appearance. The seat is comfortable for me, but only the back is adjustable. If you think you want one be sure to sit in it for at least 20 minutes to be sure it is comfortable for you. If not, some minor customizing with foam may be in order.
This very light kayak is stable and paddles very nicely. It makes reasonable speed with ease, but at about the 3 mile per hour mark it starts fighting further speed gains. It turns nicely, accelerates quickly and has room for plenty of stuff in dry bags; there are no hatches. It feels reasonably sturdy with a somewhat flexible layup and should take some abuse without any breakage. At just 31 pounds it is really easy to handle off the water. Loading on a vehicle is a dream. Stable, roomy, efficient, fun and sturdy describe this kayak.
