Bali 13.5 Tandem

I bought this kayak a couple years ago.very nice looking and like the storage compartments.but overall it needs modified.the kayak needs better backrest.the originals slide down.leaving your back hurting.as your feet are up .same as sitting in chair with feet up.but there is no backrest.so I gave it a 2 out of 5.im going to rivet a plastic chair back around the seats.doing this I will give kayak a 5 star rating.so people with bad back.this kayak is not for you.

Obviously a bit more difficult to handle to and from the water because of its length and weight, but once on the water this kayak is awesome. It is a great way for one adult to take two kids out paddling with plenty of room for all 3. My 7 and 9 year old love it and even with a combined total of 360 lbs of passengers, I have no trouble paddling and steering while my kids ride along and enjoy the scenery. It requires no more water to float than any similar 10' Sun Dolphin and handles incredibly well for its size. It is also incredibly stable even with two squirmy kids on board. I have also taken this kayak out solo and again it is nearly as nimble and easy to pilot as a 10' kayak. The 3 interior storage wells are very handy and while not water tight, the interior pouches keep contents from sliding around inside the kayak. This is a great kayak for anyone looking to take small kids out onto the water and would also be good for two adults wanting to share a single kayak with plenty of room for gear or a small child to tag along. I highly recommend it as a budget friendly multi-passenger kayak.
