Have you ever helped a teenager by rowing back up a river instead of down? We took our granddaughter on her first kayak ride down a slow-moving rocky river. Thankfully, when she panicked after hitting a large rock, we were all in our Pelican Trailblazers. This kayak is light, easy to maneuver against the river's flow, and very stable, so we were able to kayak back to her against the river's flow. Getting her to shore by holding on to one of the dual handles was easy and the drain plug came in handy, too. This 27 lb. lightweight proved perfect for a beginner. The Pelican Trailblazer 80NXT saved the trip, and because of it, she now loves to go kayaking with us!
