I've been renting for the last few years - trying different kayaks. This Atlantic composite ticked all the boxes, but, I couldn't try it before buying. I sat in it in the store and it fit me. Well I went for the maiden voyage yesterday for 2.5 hours with an experienced friend in Narrow River, Rhode Island. IT WAS AMAZING. I can't say enough about this kayak. It handles great. I'm only 5' tall and the adjustable foot pegs all the way up - my legs stay comfortable in the power position. I will need help taking this off my Thule Hull-avator car rack onto the portable 2 wheel cart until I get strong enough. My pal said he was envious of how beautifully it sits in the water. :-)
