I have owned a used Advantage Edge kayak for over 2 yrs and it's great for recreational kayaking with good stability and ease of entry/exit and comfortable seating. I have used it in harbors, inlets, and scenic paddling outside breakwaters at Long Beach, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes,and San Pedro in California. My only complaints are the following: Weight feels more like 60 lbs+ with paddle; the neoprene skirts for cockpit and Rear Hatch appear to be too short as to tend to detach and break seal and it's compartment wall seal deteriorated causing water to come thru.
