I bought the Pelican Ultimate 100 a couple months ago for my birthday and I just love it! I’ve only been kayaking 5 or 6 times so I’m still very much a beginner. After scouring the internet for a few months learning everything I could about kayaking and kayaks, I decided on the Ultimate 100 due to its durability and stability. I’ve had it out on a couple of our local lakes where I was very impressed with its stability. I think it would actually be difficult to tip over and I’ve even been able to get out sideways along the shoreline quite easily. At only 36 lbs, it’s pretty easy for me to slide it on top of my Kia Sorento and carry it myself and, being only a 5’2” single woman who doesn’t want to rely on help, this was important to me. The stability, durability, and weight coupled with a sale price just over $200 makes this the perfect kayak for a beginner.
