This is my first "beginner" kayak-- not wanting to invest a lot as I was unsure of my capabilities as a senior citizen. This kayak is a perfect size for me being 5'2 & the kayak only weighs 27 lbs! I could easily lift & carry it. It fits inside my SUV which is a big plus. I live on a big man made lake in the middle of Missouri and use my boat dock to stabilize entering and existing. It has been a great asset to exercising and enjoying getting on the lake during this beautiful fall weather. Well worth the reasonable price I paid!
