If you took every RPM ever sold and lined them up, you’d have a whole lotta irate paddlers standing around.

Seriously though folks, the RPM remains the best selling kayak ever. That’s ever. Wanna know why? It starts with a stable and forgiving design that makes the RPM ideal for beginners who seek a versatile river runner with a displacement hull. Add carving performance and solid front and back surfs with dynamic stern squirts and you can’t go wrong. Just for good measure, you’ll also get a thermoformed seat and adjustable backband. The classic paddler loves us for this one.

The classic RR

About the reviewer

Sea & rec kayaking background. Needed something that was to easily support the 210lb weight and perform well for a beginner. I was on the heavy side for the standard RPM but that is a great boat.

Test environment

Delaware River NJ/PA - Scudder's Falls.

Review

Ok so I'm definitely a rookie at the WW stuff. Having said that this boat lives up to all the reviews, runs great nice speed and tracking. It can't keep up with the modern playboats but with my limited skill set I can't either!

Great boat for river running, larger paddlers and for those of us that probably won't push that envelope that hard. I couldn't find one for months then ended up with 2! Maybe I'll trade one somewhere down the road but for now she's staying with me...

Conclusion

Great boat for beginner and experienced paddlers. Good for the oversize paddler or someone who wants a little more room.
