Good Kayak, for medium to small sized individuals, with experience in "tippy" kayaks. Rudder helps to turn quite fast for it's length. Very agile and quick (Gained from it's narrowness opposeed to only average length), water proof compartments are pretty good. I will repeat this is not a boat though for a large indivdual, but it is very comfy for a medium-small sized individual. Good for medium sized rivers and lakes.
