This is the first kayak I have bought, I've tried many other ones but this one fits me well. I'm 6'4 and I don't feel trapped in it. Sometimes I struggle a bit to get out of it but overall it works for me. I've taken it on a lake and river. It was stable while on the lake when I would get waves from boats going by. With lots of room available you can store stuff for a day trip or for a overnight trip if packed correctly. The only real complaint would be the seat its not extremely comfortable but its doable.
