No better kayak in its class than this one: fast, lightweight, fantastic build! I'm actually reviewing the Kaskazi Breeze AR. At 14' with a beam of 24" this is a stable, fun, fast boat. The rudder is responsive and great in the surf in the waters of Biscayne Bay in South Florida. I raced cockpit kayaks in the past and wanted a run, no fuss boat. This is it!
