My first Rec Kayak, I went with the Mainstream Streak for the low price. At the time I was purchasing two so that was a big factor. We use ours for slower river kayaking. Mostly on Class 1-2 rivers, and creeks. They are great if the current is moving. They allow good turning. The tracking is not so great, but I didn't expect it to be with such a short length. In all they seem to handle very well where we use them. I think they make a great low end Rec Kayak, great for learning, and getting used to the feel of kayaking.
