Have 5 kayaks and this is a favorite for tooling around SW Florida bays and Everglades. Is a SOT, low to the water, and tracks easily. With 14 foot of length and moderately slim profile, the water displacement is reduced so glides fairly easily with firm strokes for a good day on the water.If doing surf be sure to dry bag your gear in the fore and aft hatches as they are not watertight. I can't wait to get this boat on the water each time out. If you like a smooth slick ride this one is a 10.
Love it.
