This is a durable, stable, and roomy tandem sit on top kayak. My wife and I purchased this yak 3 years ago and usually paddle it once a week. We live on the coast and it is perfect for day trips with little wind*** It has a third seat which is for a small child or solo paddling. I have not enjoyed paddling this solo as it is to cumbersome when alone. It is after all a sit on top tandem vessel. We continue to paddle this yak about once a week and I have never had any complaints about this yak. Its a great recreational yak for short trips on calm days.
