I have owned this kayak for 5 months now. It is very easy to load and unload. I love the portability. It is the perfect length for me although I do find it hard to keep straight at times. It is slower than my friends sit in kayaks but I do not find that to be a problem. I mostly use the kayak for still lakes and slow rivers. It's perfect for a float. Easy storage behind you. It even works for my young daughter to sit between my legs and kayak a little with me. Overall a great buy.
