I have only been kayaking…
I have only been kayaking for about 18 months, and only boat on calm lakes and ponds. Because of neuropathy resulting from chemo, I need light, maneuverable boats. I found this one on Facebook, and the owner knew virtually nothing about it. It was small, clean and light, and my web search had been for the 10' model, not this one. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed. It tracks terribly, and is barely big enough for me (5' 10" & 168#) When rinsing it out after the maiden voyage, the flotation styrofoam around the seat began to disintegrate into tiny balls. I have a 12' Pelican fishing kayak that is wonderful, but heavy, and I assumed this would be of the same quality. It was not. It could make a good entry boat for a kid, or a small adult. I expected more from Pelican.
