After owning 2 kayaks, I felt the need to have something really lightweight. Of course, there is affordable 10 feet kayaks under 40 pounds, but they are usually a little soft and a little slow. And if you talk about a 12 feet kayak under 40 pounds, the price goes way up. Considering I would have to pay a lot more for a lightweight boat, I finally chose un Pack 13.6. As it is longer than a 10 to 12 feet kayak and totally open like a canoe, it is more affected by wind. I don't care as I never go out when there's too much wind. I first tied it up on the rooftop like a kayak. Not to be done. It shakes way too much on the highway. Tie it up face down like a canoe. On the water, it's a wonder. It's fast and so easy to maneuver. It glides really easily. I don't think I will ever regret paying that much for a boat. It's so lightweight that you're ready to go in less time to say it.

Great kayak, lightweight, very stable, tracks well, plenty of room, very good on short distance. A little bit slow on long distance, but maybe that's because I am a little overweight (230 pounds).
