I received my Scupper 12 on the 13th of May. I have had it out about 4 times in the past 13 days. It tracks pretty well in the waters of Sanibel Island. FL. Taking in the mangroves is easy, and makes it over underwater mangroves, without having to get out. Easy to turn around in tight places.

Even in open water with 10-14mph winds and waves, i did not take on enough water to open the scupper valves. The scupper valves are extremely hard to open and close when you first get kaysk. You have to work with ot a bit to ease them up a bit. Best option is to step on them when you need to open, till they get a little looser. The seat was really comfortable, after adjusting for my lower back.

I do wish there was additional tracx toount gear, but i will have to do that myself. Wish there wasca brace under the o ne track. With a camera mount, it wobbles a bit, be nice if a brace was under to keep it sturdy.

Overall i really enjoy this kayak, compared to others i have used, including a Wilderness 140, Hobie 13, and Lifetime kayaks. I would definitley recommend this one that wants to enjoy the water.
