Review Detail

This is a great starter kayak. Says 500 but you can find new for 350 during end of year sales. Solid hull, lightweight. I've used it in the marshes and the gulf. It gets only 3 stars because 1) definitely better kayaks out there (but not for the price yet) 2) customizing requires drilling and sometimes make shifting, but again this is the kayak to do that on when learning. Stability is solid, seat somewhat comfortable, doesn't have adjustable foot pegs which takes a lot of available space away from an already tight fit. Inside storage is minimal but a smart kayaker shouldn't need much more room unless they are touring from it. To sum up this is in my opinion the best starter kayak and should only need replacing when you want it to. Simple construction and solid body hull leaves less room for cracks and splits
