Love this boat! Really. I'm 6ft - 195lbs, the Tribe 9.5 fits me like a glove. I have the Deja Vu, not an illusion just a cool blue - the Tribe colors are stunning. I do mostly lakes, occasional rivers, easy coastal and a little surf - the Tribe 9.5 does it all with fun to spare. Very stable, tracks pretty well, so easy to get in and out of, even with my tricky back. Tweak the seat to suit and you'll have a comfortable ride. Takes on a little water when a wave slaps over but otherwise quite dry and quieter than many. Wish it had paddle holders so I could drift and dream - but I can fix that myself. Listen up paddlers. You want recreational fun on the water - get a Tribe! It truly does it all - beginner or beyond. Go on, get one!

No kidding...gave me the Edge over all the other kayaks in the bay. Sleek, long easy glides and lovely on the turn. Beauty on the water!
