Low-cost investment and great kayak for a beginner or someone who is new to the hobby. I take mine out about 3-5 times a year and it's small enough to store in the garage and I can easily load and unload onto my SUV by myself. I did add some small upgrades like carry handles and oar clips, as it did not come with those.
At some point, I see myself upgrading or passing this onto another family member. I've rented longer kayaks and they are faster and easier to maneuver., but I'm very happy with this purchase.
