This was the 2nd kayak I purchased, my wife and I started with Pelican kayaks. After my purchase I noticed my wife always lagging behind so we switched kayaks and I found that I now couldn't keep up... so we went out and purchased a Dagger Element 11.2 for her and we both love these kayaks. We do rivers about 95% of the time from slow moving to class 3 (which we prefer). They are very stable and track well (and obviously much faster than the Pelican). When we purchased these kayaks we were able to try several others but this is the one we liked the best! We've owned these for several years and enjoyed many outings with them!
