Good beginner 'yak, great 'yak for a kid or an old person. Also great for someone who doesn't want a lot of hassle with transportation.

Primary stability almost unmatched, but that also means it's difficult to test the secondary stability. The fact that I can't really carve a turn in it is balanced by the fact that a boat this small turns well anyway. At 300 lbs, I have a full 1/8" of freeboard, too! Good thing I got a good skirt.

My only argument is that I got very poor after-sales support from Dick's Sporting Goods. I'd be happy to buy another Blast, but won't buy anything from that chain again.
