The Vapor is my first kayak and I love it. It has a lot of room, is stable, and takes a beating. Tracking isn't great but you learn to compensate with rowing technique. There is no lumbar support so you will need some extra padding for long trips. I made a lumbar support from a piece of swimming noodle. I also added the hatch cover and a bungee tie-down to the front.
Overall very happy with the Vapor 10.

I use the Caviness CavPro 230cm paddle. I bought the white paddle and it looks great with my cloud colored Vapor. The paddles are asymmetrical and the shaft is vinyl-wrapped black anodized aluminum. It is ovalized on both ends at normal hand positions making for a comfortable extended paddling sessions. The shaft separates in the middle and can be positioned as 60° left, right, or inline for better control. The shaft also comes with drip rings.
Overall very happy with the CavPro.

This is an excellent tent for the money. It packs small and handles rain without issue. It is rated as a two person tent but I have only used it for myself. Two people would be snug so make sure its with someone you like, haha. Set up and take down is fast and easy too. The vestibule is nice to store muddy shoes outside. I love this tent and plan to use it on all my future kayaking and backpacking trips.
