Having paddled the rivers, creeks and lakes of the Great Midwest for nearly 50 years now, I found that I needed a practical, inexpensive kayak. So began the search... surprise # 1: prices have soared; surprise # 2: quality has also soared.

Finding the Patriot with its roomy cockpit, stable ride, super tracking and sturdy fit and finish has been nothing short of terrific. Paddlers in our family from 12 years - 80 find this versatile craft comfy and encouraging. A GREAT RIVER AND CREEK KAYAK FOR VERY LITTLE $$. 4 YEARS INTO THIS YAK AND WE ALL STILL LOVE IT! Of course it is no Epic but for the price I would say every paddling family should add one to their boat house.
