It is long, thin, fast and pretty. The speed is excellent, but this is not good around rocks. I like it for open water, and longer trips. Don't think of it for small rivers and rocky rapids. The seat has back support only very low. If you are looking for an open water boat with moderate stability, this is a beauty.

My wife and I both bought Caribou kayaks last summer. She wanted a faster boat that takes less effort than our old kayaks. These are easy to paddle, fast and lightweight. They are narrow, so they won't work for everyone. The back rest seemed wrong, and did not support our lower back at all. After talking to the rep, we found we needed to bring the foot pedals closer, which pressed our lower back against the back support and helped.
We really like these kayaks.
