This kayak is a good beginner kayak for flat water (no higher than class II- rapids). However, be warned; I fell out my first time and nearly flipped the second time using it as well. This kayak is not very stable, and it is not very good maneuvering through tight turns and twists, especially when there is a current. It is not built for speed, as one small mistake can lead to capsizing. This boat is great for the gentle, relaxing rivers and creeks one would take to enjoy a sunny day or gaze upon the diverse flora, fauna and wildlife you can find in any given river route. It really is a good kayak for easy takers, and I have enjoyed many peaceful trips with it. Cost efficient and lightweight, which means it can easily be carried out of a site. I would recommend it to any beginner or yaker looking for an easy ride.
