I am new to kayaking and after doing a lot of research and trying out different kayaks, I decided to go with the Tarpon 120 and I could not be happier! It is exactly what I wanted, with one small exception, I wish it was a tad bit lighter. I am only 5'3" 130 pound female and to hoist it up onto my Santa Fe takes some work, but it is totally worth it. I have recently started fishing out of it as well. It feels very sturdy and although I won't win any races, I can get it going pretty fast and it corners well for a kayak not really made to go fast or corner well
