Great boat for the money. I purchased two, for my wife & myself as our first kayaks, a few years ago. We love them! They are safe, easy to paddle and while we get easily passed by hardshells; in choppy water, ours are the ones easier to control! Only complaint is the inflation time, since I do two at once, but I'm going to try a portable electric inflater (gently) this season and see if it won't do most of the work for me. You do need help to do the little inflations, but we use surgical tubing attached to each end and that seems to work very well with our double action hand pump. For the money and safety...a perfect 10!
