Comments

Mary: The kayak is well made. I feel safer than in my previous kayak.
Heavier than I expected but I can still maneuver in and out of my SUV.

My big complaint is no side handles or even indentation to grab when moving in and out of the SUV.
I tried to glue on handles but would not stick. Not willing to drill holes to attach side handles. Finally bought a long cord that I can wrap around twice then clip it in. Use this for side grips.
The company’s cheapness for the minimal cost of two side handles, kept me from giving 5 stars!

Virgil Wright: Decent kayak for the money. Works for a beginner. Plastic is pretty thin and leaves a lot to be sought after. Came with the bottom pretty scratched/cut up and the shipping took forever and was several days late. Sat one town over from me (40 miles) for 3 days with no explanation….tried contacting shipper and was ignored (was hung up on when called and emails were redirected) would recommend spending a little more for a little better

fly fisherman: Overall this is a nice, cool and fun little boat. The maximum capacity states 225 however myself, as a smaller adult would rate it a bit less- you get that barge feeling. It is a youth kayak, as stated. Now for the important kicker- so, like me, you want to throw something in back of your car (the interest and buying factor here is that its under 8')- this is a nice concept, beautiful, ive now kayaked many bodies of water and i can say that this boat is Lacking Handles of sorts. Its awckward, drop it often, nothing to hold onto during your carry. I hold it over my head and can balance/walk a decent bit like that but a single side handle may have made this a 4 star boat. Its menial, and i read that in a one star review below and kinda chuckled, but i do agree. I use it for pond/lake fishing - maybe ill install a handle or two myself. btw i bought the scupper plugs mentioned in another review and like them on quiet waters.

Pat A: I am 70 years old. I can transport this alone. It’s perfect for my needs and I can independently get it and out in my hatch back. Off I go!

Lorna McKenzieLorna McKenzie: Great little beginner kayak. Super stable, great model for both adults and kids. Very agile. Great fun at the beach too. Lightweight only 35lbs. Can carry in and out of my apartment and strap to my roof rack by myself. Short enough to stand up in my spare room. Love it.

Tabitha SzarekTabitha Szarek: For the price it’s great. Good quality material. Moves pretty fast for an open top. Only thing I don’t like is that the drain holes just happen to be right under your butt so every time I get in it I get soaked and even more so when you paddle. Other than that it’s a decent little kayak!
