Profile

This is my first ocean kayak. I am an intermediate paddler. Overall I love this boat. I have taken it out on very windy, choppy days on lake Michigan and even though I am not a seasoned paddler I have never capsized. Primary stability is good, and secondary stability is rock solid. This boat edge turns naturally. I love the look of this kayak. It is a beautiful boat. The keg control is fluid and easily accessible. The Denali is very well made. I love the seat. It is as comfortable as a lazy boy. My only complaint is that the seat sits up very high making reentry during rescues difficult. But, I have only capsized it purposely during training. The best feature of this boat is the abundant cockpit. I am 6'-4" 235 lbs. It fits me like an extra large glove. I still have enough contact to roll, but I am not cramped. Customer service at Eddyline is first rate. Great product!
