This kayak is a great starter rotomolded unit. I was concerned with reports about stability and overall usability of this kayak. Yes it is slightly tippy but after 5 minutes of use it became fairly predictable. I bought this kayak as a starter unit but intend to use it when traveling in a Truck Camper as they are fairly light and appear durable for recreational use in remote areas. Agree with comments on getting good paddle and use supplied one for backup. Haven't use the skirt yet so I can't comment on reviews that say the lip will not hold it.
