I have had my Swifty for over 15 years. I am mostly a lake kayaker and this kayak is great. It is light enough to pick up and put in. While it tends to track to the left, it is an easy paddle. It is roomy. There was enough room for myself and my 50lb Samoyed, who loved to go.
I have had my Swifty for about 15 years and love it. I can carry it if need be. Love the length as it is perfect for whichever mode of transportation I use to take to Stone Mountain Park. I used to paddle with my Samoyed and it was perfect for both of us. She loved and was the hit of the lake.
