I've had my Rhythm 11 for nearly two years now and have been very pleased with its performance. I generally kayak calm rivers, lakes and ponds with no problems. It generally tracks well and is very stable. Even in rougher surf and choppy water, it holds up okay (although I have to put more effort into tracking under such conditions). I've taken this kayak over some rocks and bumped against some piers and, while it has a few scratches, it has held up well. I haven't had any problems with dry storage although, given that I usually just do afternoon outings, I don't use my hatch that often. All things considered, this kayak does better than similar craft in its price range and size. I'm satisfied!
