This is a big and very stable kayak ! It has enough room to carry all your luxury camping items. As it gets quite heavy when loaded you might cosider loading and unloading on the water, not on the beach. The Tandem Maxi has a reasonable cruising speed with moderate effort. The Smart Trak rudder does its job if you concider the 22`2`` hull. Good for taking a less experienced paddler for a cruise og for long distance crossings with two skilled paddlers. The build quality is good. You may concider adding a keel strip. I am really happy with my Tandem Maxi.
