Love this Kayak. it is the composite model and is so easy to car top. It has a beautiful finish and looks great even on top of the car. It paddles like a dream. It takes the waves from other boats so well, even broad side no problem at all. the seat is very comfortable, I could just paddle on and on. It doesn't have a rudder but doesn't really need one. It has plenty of storage front and back in the water tight areas. Bungie cords on top if you need to carry more things. If you buy this kayak you will not be disappointed.
