This is a rare 'Hybrid' kayak that can keep up with the big boys.
Overall excellent handling characteristics combined with sleek good looks and it is light-45lbs. This yak seems impervious to wind and slices through the waves as opposed to riding over them, both probably the result of it's low profile which also results in less pack space. However, like the previous poster, I too had a leak. The front hatch was not caulked. This was easily fixed and now both hatches are bone dry even when submerged in water...but really, there is no excuse to send out a new boat with a leak.
Pros: very efficient, good speed, good glide, fast start up speed also excellent blend of primary and secondary stability--handles rough water well.
Cons: made in China, bottom hull could be stiffer
