I have had the kayak for almost 6 months. The kayak is very stable. I needed a kayak that is versatile and this has hit the mark. So far I have had this kayak in sea marsh, rivers, and lakes. It's length helps in track well and I have also loaded it with a backpack on the front for camping. The load didn't seem to hurt the balance. The seat is very well built and designed. You really don't realize how comfortable it is until you ride in another kayak with a hard surface seat.
