Wonder if any of you have any idea how to secure the seat in this kayak? My son bought one (his first) he likes the weight of it and it looks like it will track well and most importantly he only spent 100 on it. We are going to take it out today and see how it does. There is a bungy cord kinda of thing but the seat is loose figure the chord must attach to the seat somehow but the kid he bought it from had no idea

I wish someone would have wrote this before I spent 5k. I bought 5 of these for my family and I. This was our first kayak ever and I did do a considerable amount of research before I purchased them and the people that have them are almost cult like in their belief for this reason I bought them. Now it should be said that they have recently been purchased by another company and in the past maybe the quality and customer service was better but after less than a year the the small plastic pieces on the front and the rear split and we were extremely careful when we used them I contacted Oru and they said they would be sending us replacement parts it has been 6 months and I still have not received them. Then the seats broke all 5, again contacted Oru, who said they would send us replacement parts which have never been sent or at least I never received. Then on a personal note we went on a trip to Raystown lake and due to the wake from the power boats the kayaks began to pitch, now possibly due to my inexperience I tipped, the kayak filled with water immediately and sunk so we were down to 4 and still making payments on 5 with no support from the company. I have sold 3 of them to try and recoup some of our money and I bought a cheap Sun Dolphin, Pelican and Two Sea Eagles for the kids so far everyone is happy with the change, Just wanted to warn anyone looking for their first full time kayak this is good for spur of the moment paddle on extremely calm water something you keep in the car and you have a couple hours to kill and want to get out on the water not for day trips on major water ways. Also for the money they do not hold up well.
