Wife purchased this kayak for me as present. This is my first kayak, used to row a pontoon Roanoke. It's a 10 ft sit inside recreational style kayak. Has a very large entry area. Comes with foot rest installed. Seat is fair, I added a pad to the bottom for extra comfort. 220mm paddle included, aluminum shaft. Deck bungies on both front and rear deck areas. No access to rear inside area, front can be reached thru the cockpit opening.
First time in the water was awesome! Did a 2 mile trip on Ceder River. Kayak tracked fairly well, felt more stable than I expected. Handled boat wake and veggie growth very well. Paddling felt very natural and fluid. Only complaint I can give is the foot room is not as much as I would like. There are two ribs in the cockpit that are just in the wrong location for my size 11 feet.
Overall I love this kayak. Performs very well for what I use it for, river exploring and exercise. Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get started in kayaking. You really can't beat getting on the water for $200 from big box store.
Thanks for reading and hope it was helpful to others. I am planning on adding more reviews as I add more goodies to my yak.
