For a small 8’ sit-in Kayak, this light weight (35 lbs.) tracks fairly well. My first put in was on the Susquehanna River on a crowded day with power boats and jet skis creating wakes that made it difficult to navigate in the water. My second trip was on a reservoir where powerboats are not allowed. This was a totally different experience, and I fully enjoyed exploring the water. I wouldn’t take this out on choppy or fast streams but if you want a nice day on the water I would recommend this under $300.00 kayak for both the ease of hauling it to the water by yourself, and for a inexpensive first kayak for a beginner.
