We bought this Kayak almost on impulse when at our local Costco. My wife and I had been talking about taking up kayaking for a while but a neither of us had put in much research up until the time of purchase. We've had this model now for over a year of both lake/reservoir and gentle river paddling and have been very happy with it.

First, the kayak is extremely stable. with a tri-tipped hull design. The flip side is that it is not the most maneuverable kayak on the water. My preference is for the stability as I often have our dog in the kayak with me.

Second, there is ample storage both above and below for longer days. One compartment is fully waterproof.

Third, I really like the ability to drain water from the hull after a day's paddle via the locking spout in the back.

While, I assume (as an entry level kayak) it's not the lightest on the planet, i have had no issue loading this onto my car roof rack.

Overall, while I know this model has been discontinued I have looked at the Pelican website and have noticed an extremely similar looking model (Argo?) that I would recommend for someone looking to get in to the sport.
