Living on a lake in Arkansas, we have used this kayak daily for several months. (We can also convert it to tandem by adding a middle section).
First thing we did was remove the rudder. Useless for our lake paddling.
As experienced kayakers we are impressed with the speed and tracking. It is very stable.
Appreciate the ability to take it apart and store it in our boat house. A bit tricky to get apart, but watch the videos on YouTube for instructions.
