About the reviewer
College student, been paddling for a couple of years.Test environment
Lakes, Class II(+) river, short class III runReview
A good overall rec kayak. The footpegs and seat adjust to fit pretty much any person. It is not incredibly fast, although it does well enough in that area. Performs very well in class II- and below rapids and on flat water. Convenient dry storage hatch for overnights. Not a kayak for any kind of serious whitewater, it simply lacks the turning ability. I got mine for about 500 on clearance and it has been well worth the money for a very versatile kayak in my area which has very few serious whitewater areas and many lakes and several calm rivers.Conclusion
Good boat. If I had it to do over again, however, I would have probably gotten a boat closer to the 12 foot range just for the added speed and tracking.Review
