As first time kayak purchasers I found that this kayak best suited our needs for what we were going to use them for (lakes, slow rivers, ocean bays). They are light, easy to carry, have a big cockpit area which works out perfect since we take our small/mid size dog with us (30lb puggle). The seats are comfortable for the most part, can get a sore hiney after a few hours of paddling without a break. They are very stable on the water, you can rock it pretty aggressively with your hips and not go over. The plastic is very tough and thick, we go in some shallower areas and skim across larger tree branches at times. Speaking of shallow water, when Old Town say you can be in as shallow as 6 inches of water they aren't kidding!!! The only negative thing that I have notices is when we store them in the garage rafters how it would sit in the water, the plastic has pushed in a bit, hasn't affected the paddling experience, just observations made, we started storing them cockpit side down now to prevent further distortion.

All around awesome recreational kayak for novice, beginners, even experienced kayakers, along with an exceptional starting price!
