We paddled the Patriot in a tidal creek and river. A basic kayak. Very stable and paddles easily. Can go through a 1.5' wave and the water slides around the cockpit. Turning is a little bit of work, but overall we are very happy with this kayak
Very basic boat. We paddle it on a tidal creek and river. Large cockpit entry, but seems a snug fit when in. Stable and maneuverable. A good beginner kayak and the price is very reasonable
