I have had my kayak for…
I have had my kayak for almost a year now and have logged quite a bit of trips on it so far. Overall I believe the kayak is amazing. I love the stability of the kayak and have never worried about flipping it. I am 6'4" and 215lbs and have stood up in the kayak without any problems. The kayak tracks well and is pretty easy to maneuver. Mine has been upgraded with the Xdrive Pod and the pedal system from Vibe and I have been enjoying every bit of it. I have had a few minor issues with the kayak and they were mainly with the steering lines that are ran through the hull of the kayak. The lines are not tight and pop out all the time and cause the lines to loosen up and limit the rudder control. Not a big deal but it can be a nuisance. The rudder feels a bit too slim and does not allow for some sharper turns or going at low speeds. Havent tested it out with a bigger ruder yet but that is what I have experienced so far. Overall I am really happy with the kayak and its performance. The amount of space it has is great for my use and I know it has the potential to carry 8 rods but the max I carry is 3. I love the rod grooves on the side of the chair that allow me to put the rods down if im going into wooded areas or anywhere that I have a potential of snagging my rods into places. I find myself putting my rods there more than I do in the rod holders besides when Im trying to paddle.
