I love this boat! It's my first new kayak purchase and I still can't get over how 1) quick and responsive she is and 2) how comfortable the seat is! Having paddled a lot in borrowed or rented boats, it was like getting a Tempurpedic mattress!

She handles well; I mostly paddle on a very large lake but we get waves, currents, and wind like coastal paddling so I'm sure she would handle those conditions well. She handles like a 16+ footer but I like the shorter size for exploring the creeks and bogs that enter our lake. The rigging is great besides the seat, but I would rather have had the small day hatch in front of my cockpit than in the rear, but the current configuration probably allows more cockpit room.

Overall, you can't go wrong with the Tsunami and that's probably why you rarely if ever see them for sale used!
