I was looking for a good beginner kayak since I've wanted to try it without spending a lot of money just in case I didn't like it. This kayak has been great. Friends have borrowed it and liked it better than the sit on top models. Even though it is light, I did buy a Land's End kayak cart for times I can't park next to the water and just store it in the hull when I'm on the water (I'm short so I have plenty of room).
