To be honest, I couldn’t find much information on the Wave Roller when researching it.. so I didn’t buy. BUT my son did. With that said, I’ve had a chance to paddle this boat and really really like it. The one thing the boat does great is tracking! You stop paddling it keeps going straight. So if you see something you want to snap some pictures of…. Just stop paddling and snap a couple pictures. Now if I try to do that in my other kayak (11.5ft). The other one just spins out. So if your into snapping a couple pictures on the water and want a great tracking boat, this is it. And it has a built in Kayak Cart wheel system that is pretty sick. If you have to move it any distance, just slap the wheels on and go. They are solid rubber wheels that won’t go flat.
Now the only negatives I find or like to see improvements. There is no way to secure your paddle on the Wave Roller which os weird cause Enjoy Kayaks put them on most of their other models. And the wheel system has too may little bushings that are sure to be lost sooner or later. Would be nice to make most of those molded in the wheel somehow. And last but not least, The Tracking is phenomenal on this thing, so don’t expect it to turn on a dime. But I personally prefer having that tracking as to doing donuts in the water with my Kayak. It’s a good rig in all for a great price. Just wish there was more reviews on it when I was researching it.
