This was my 1st kayak bought 4 years ago as a gift. Some think of this brand as cheap but she is a tough kayak. I paddle in rivers with lots of rocks, trees down and places you would not want a high price kayak too go. My Sun Dolphin keeps up with the other kayaks fine my only problem is the molded seat. After a 10 to 13 mile paddle your butt tends too hurt. I would buy other one today but would want a bigger size since I carry a lot of stuff...
