Should I Buy It?

    • Great, easy to use boat, gets you out on the water!
Color: Orange Pattern Name: Kayak
For me this is a nice boat. It handles somewhat choppy water just fine, and it tracks pretty well for a sit-on-top. It's comfortable for at least a couple of hours, my typical outing, on lakes that can get a bit choppy with winds and power boats creating wakes. I love sitting on top, easy to get on and off, and it has never come close to tipping. There are various footrest positions so you can vary your posture. You can clip a paddle leash to it, and there are bungees by the side handholds so you can put the paddle alongside if you want to float with it out of the way. You can also clip the seat back down for storing/transport There is a storage compartment with a watertight seal in the hull, though I'm not convinced that the space stays dry, have noticed a little water in there, but I haven't found a use for that yet, since I just keep what I need in a waterproof bag on top in easy reach. Overall, if you want a sturdy boat that is easy to use and will even fit inside a Honda HRV, this one will work. ... show more

    • My Happy Place
Color: Glacier Blue Pattern Name: Kayak
My Happy Place- After a month, I am very happy with this kayak. I have been out about 4 times a week for 4-6 mile trips and am looking forward to working my way up to longer trips. It is short enough to fit in my mini-van, and light enough that I can handle it by myself. I am 5’4” and wanted something I could take out by myself and this definitely fits the bill. The shorter length makes it easy to maneuver but it takes a little practice to keep straight over long distances as compared to a 10 or 12 foot kayak. The two tank-wells give plenty of storage outside and the hatch is very convenient for inner storage. Overall, a great kayak for the money. ... show more

    • Terrible tracking
Color: Orange Pattern Name: Kayak
Like many of the other reviews mentioned, the tracking on this kayak is terrible! I've done a lot of kayaking (this kayak was meant to be an addition to one I already have) this is more than just the nose pushing with the paddle strokes, it will not stay an a semi straight path! What is concerning (and lead to me returning this) is once it starts to drift, it is extremely difficult to correct, you can't just push out of it. You're only real option is to brake or just accept the spin. As someone else mentioned, I had a friend I frequently kayak with test it just to make sure I want crazy and he had the same problem. Outside of the tracking issue, the side handles are almost useless, they're too shallow to actually carry the kayak. I also agree with the other reviews that the scupper holes should've planned a little better, it's not the end of the world but except a puddle in your kayak, and your butt will get wet from the scuppers under the seat. Lastly, it isn't as stable as I would like to see, it's not unmanageable, but not as stable as some of the other similar kayaks I've used. ... show more

    • Poor design - unstable
Color: Orange Pattern Name: Kayak
Poor or defective design. The front of the kayak seems to be fighting the back at all times and constantly wants to spin around and is not stable side to side either. Even on dry ground it wobbles and spins around with a slight breeze. Looking at it more closely, seems like the overall design is faulty - like someone who knows nothing about kayaks saw a picture of one once and designed an approximate copy. More specifically, the underside is very, very oval with a much larger front than rear, hence, as soon as you stop paddling, even for a second, the kayak starts spinning and wants to swap the front end with rhe rear. It's also very rounded left to right so that reduces stability too. Another design flaw related to ergonomics, the foot rests are unusable - you can't put your feet on them because there's no room for your ankles! So either have to twist your feet sideways to point your toes out and ankles way in or just put your legs on top and not use them!? The third major flaw is the scupper holes. However they designed them, your back gets soaked from water constantly splashing up and forward from the back scupper holes, even in very calm waters. There are also 2 scupper holes directly under where you sit, so good luck trying to stay somewhat dry. I could go on about the side handle design being flawed as well making them useless but I'll stop there. What's a shame is that the cost to have made all these things perfectly would have been zero - it's just the way the plastic mold is designed and engineered without any thought about function. Looked at it side by side with a couple other kayak brands we have and the design errors are immediately obvious. Good things about this kayakm - the seatback it pretty comfortable and the price is low. ... show more

    • Nice Kayak

This was my first kayak. I needed something that wasn’t too much for me to carry around myself (5’4”, 130lbs). I’ve been mostly pleased with this purchase. Some pluses - it’s very stable, has storage, place to store other gear up top. I’m a newbie at kayaking but would say it probably tracks well for a short kayak. Biggest downside is the seat. It works ok once you have it fully attached and you’re seated in kayak, but doesn’t want to stay connected in any convenient way for storage and transferring. I find it a real pain. ... show more
