I am a woman in my 60s, average build, and I know nothing about kayaking or fishing in a kayak. I just wanted a kayak to have some fun and learn. I found this kayak at Costco for $399. I have used it twice for fishing in a lake. It was easy to maneuver and I felt completely safe. It does weigh about 65 lbs and I can easily pull it out of the water and onto my dock. It has 4 handles conveniently placed so if you get into an awkward position pulling it out of the water there is always another handle to grab. I didn't think about leakage so I didn't check after using it. One thing I'm going to buy is a safety strap for the oar. Oh, and the seat back is comfortable if you adjust it pretty tight so that you can sit up straight. I may have placed the strap thru the fitting wrong because it loosens now and then. I'm sure it will be fine, once I figure it out. All in all, great product. Oh, I'm going to buy another one just like this for guests.
