As a family we love our Pungos. We've has them over a year now and used them from the chesapeake Bay (across the bay and back no problem no fatigue) to rivers, big lakes, creeks and surf. The Pungo covers all 3 family experience levels and needs. Son is tall and light and very experienced. Wife is short and recreational only and I'm 220 and experienced. Son and I have camped with 3 days gear food and plenty of storage using the bow. Foot pedal adjustments are easy and they are very stable and I find them plenty fast. My son paddles like a flying fish in his 120. He just glides over the water. My wife loves the stability. I did add extra cushion in the seat for my comfort on the 5, 6 hour trips we make. Its just a boat throw cushion so added safety there too. I had to reseal my bulkhead so I'd drop it a half star. But wife and son no issues with leaks. I think because I'm heavier when the hull flexed it pulled the bulkhead seal down and made a small leak. We've kayaked in SC, MD and Oregon in various waters. (Separate trips lol). Our Pungos have been great.
