I tested several kayaks at our local kayak dealers Saturday class. the stability of the prowler 15 made it easy for me to instantly feel at home in the seat of this long kayak. It is very forgiving in the choppy waters of the afternoon wind and is loads of fun to surf a long slow wave into the shore.
This kayak does take a lot of effort to get moving from a standstill but tracks well and takes little effort to keep it up to speed.
I have owned mine for about four years now and it has held up well.
