Love this kayak. Sleek design slips through the water very nice. Large opening to a roomy cockpit makes paddling very comfortable for the day. The adjustable seat and foot rests are very nice. Tracks very straight with each stroke and there's no flexing like I've felt with other kayaks of this length.

When I bought this kayak this spring I was actually looking for a Current Designs Kestrel 140. I was convinced by the sales staff that this narrower kayak would track through the water better. I was always listed as having more storage capacity than the Kestrel. My wife and I are recreational kayakers and often carry camping gear downriver. As soon I got in the Vision I knew that it wasn't going to work for me. I'm 5' 11" and 190 lbs. That kayak was just too narrow for me. The seat had pressure points on the sides and I was very cramped in the small cockpit. While paddling the kayak seemed nose heavy and didn't track as well as I thought it should for a kayak that narrow. I gave this kayak a few tries and paddled it one day for 3 hours and was all I could take. I traded it for the Kestrel that I wanted. I'm sure this kayak would be fine for a small person that is in need of that type of kayak. It just didn't work for me. My fault. Try it before you buy it.
