Perfect kayak for me! I am 5'2" and have no trouble carrying or maneuvering this kayak so it is the perfect size for small framed individuals or pre-teens/teenagers as well!

Like many of the other reviews mentioned, the tracking on this kayak is terrible! I've done a lot of kayaking (this kayak was meant to be an addition to one I already have) this is more than just the nose pushing with the paddle strokes, it will not stay an a semi straight path! What is concerning (and lead to me returning this) is once it starts to drift, it is extremely difficult to correct, you can't just push out of it. You're only real option is to brake or just accept the spin. As someone else mentioned, I had a friend I frequently kayak with test it just to make sure I want crazy and he had the same problem. Outside of the tracking issue, the side handles are almost useless, they're too shallow to actually carry the kayak. I also agree with the other reviews that the scupper holes should've planned a little better, it's not the end of the world but except a puddle in your kayak, and your butt will get wet from the scuppers under the seat. Lastly, it isn't as stable as I would like to see, it's not unmanageable, but not as stable as some of the other similar kayaks I've used.

Poor or defective design. The front of the kayak seems to be fighting the back at all times and constantly wants to spin around and is not stable side to side either. Even on dry ground it wobbles and spins around with a slight breeze. Looking at it more closely, seems like the overall design is faulty - like someone who knows nothing about kayaks saw a picture of one once and designed an approximate copy. More specifically, the underside is very, very oval with a much larger front than rear, hence, as soon as you stop paddling, even for a second, the kayak starts spinning and wants to swap the front end with rhe rear. It's also very rounded left to right so that reduces stability too. Another design flaw related to ergonomics, the foot rests are unusable - you can't put your feet on them because there's no room for your ankles! So either have to twist your feet sideways to point your toes out and ankles way in or just put your legs on top and not use them!? The third major flaw is the scupper holes. However they designed them, your back gets soaked from water constantly splashing up and forward from the back scupper holes, even in very calm waters. There are also 2 scupper holes directly under where you sit, so good luck trying to stay somewhat dry. I could go on about the side handle design being flawed as well making them useless but I'll stop there. What's a shame is that the cost to have made all these things perfectly would have been zero - it's just the way the plastic mold is designed and engineered without any thought about function. Looked at it side by side with a couple other kayak brands we have and the design errors are immediately obvious. Good things about this kayakm - the seatback it pretty comfortable and the price is low.

This was my first kayak. I needed something that wasn’t too much for me to carry around myself (5’4”, 130lbs). I’ve been mostly pleased with this purchase. Some pluses - it’s very stable, has storage, place to store other gear up top. I’m a newbie at kayaking but would say it probably tracks well for a short kayak. Biggest downside is the seat. It works ok once you have it fully attached and you’re seated in kayak, but doesn’t want to stay connected in any convenient way for storage and transferring. I find it a real pain.

I purchased this little Kayak to replace my Cobra Tandem (11.6 ft) that fits on top of my VW Westy which I am selling soon. Just got my 1st "Non-VW" in over 30 years - a 2006 Honda Civic LX. Because I won't have my big Transporter anymore, I've had to do some serious re-thinking about outfitting my various hobbies to fit my new wheels. I worried for weeks about what I was going to do about a Kayak, since my Tandem won't fit in the car. As a result of that & also the fact that my new Wife won't go anywhere near the water (unlike my Ex who thought she could paddle but couldn't), I decided to sell the Tandem & finally downsize to a Single. Well, after carefully researching the Internet on this particular Craft (the Emotion Spitfire 8 as well) & getting all the dimensions, I painstakingly measured the dimensions of the Civic's trunk space, as well as the room of the passenger section with the back seat pulled down. After comparing those measurements many times with the dimensions of the Spitfire 8 & 9, I came to the pleasant conclusion that either would fit in my new Civic just fine - especially the Spitfire 8, where it seemed that the "8" would hardly stick out of the back. However, when studying as many reviews of both Crafts (with most reviews on the "8" reporting of terrible Tracking & many on the "9" stating "Bad-to-OK-to Good" Tracking), I decided on the Spitfire 9, since the Tracking was the better of the two & let this longer Kayak stick out the back a little more than the "8" would & also because the "9" had more features ie. the cool & useful Hatch, etc. After ordering the "9" I was afraid that I had made a mistake, thinking it may end up not fitting in my Civic after all, despite my careful measurements & figuring. When I took delivery, I immediately opened my trunk, lowered the back seat, picked the Spitfire 9 & shoved it in the back as if I had practiced it a dozen times. GOOD NEWS #1 - The Craft FIT in my new car as if IT WAS MADE FOR IT ! It clears through the Trunk's "Back Seat" opening with room to spare & I can slide the Boat all the way to where the Bow fits right up between the two front seats (laid a brand new tarp inside all along where the boat lays to keep the interior nice). After doing that, the back of the Kayak only sticks out about 1 1/2 - 2 ft, very manageable ! Tied a flag on the back, hooked two long Bungee cords inside the Trunk lid to the Towing ring underneath the car, threw in all the rest of the gear & was off to the Morro Bay harbor within minutes. Boy was I thrilled to discover all my hard work paid off ! GOOD NEWS #2 - The Spitfire 9 TRACKS JUST FINE ! Honestly, I don't know what those other reviewers are talking about when they say this Craft doesn't track well. Compared to some real sleek, expensive Kayak that has a big fin underneath, well, the "9" may not be anywhere in that class. Or maybe they just don't know how to "Oar" (Paddle) very well yet. However, I can only go by my own experience on this. All I know is, after getting over the anxiety of the Spitfire 9 hopefully fitting in my Civic, I next had to contend with the worry over the "Tracking" Issue. Well, I took my new little Boat in my new little Car down to the Embarcadero, parked it at the MB Cove, slipped the "9" into the water & began paddling in the same normal fashion as I always have done on my Cobra Tandem, expecting the worse. However, to my delight my new little Spitfire 9 paddled & tracked just as straight as my Tandem & just about as fast (not real speedy, but very adequate for a small sit-on-top). Heck, my new "9" paddled so good ( with the Bow "torquing" left & right only about 5-8" during each stroke - fairly normal, just like when on my Tandem & nothing at all like some people are reporting), I took off & paddled the whole half-mile or so all the way next to Morro Rock & right next to the MB Harbor mouth just behind the North Jetty effortlessly (against a very mild Incoming Tide) within minutes, until the huge Dredger working right there chased me well away from the area LOL. Upon "paddling back to port", I was very proud of both myself & my new boat for my patient research & for the Spitfire 9 pulling through for me - in not only Portability but in Performance as well. Summing up - The Emotion Spitfire 9 ROCKS (not "Rocks" like "Tippy-Canoe & Hilliard Too" LOL) !!! Take it from me, all you Honda Civic (or equivalent) owners, etc - I don't know about the Spitfire 8 (which is reported to not Track as well), but the Emotion Spitfire 9 is one excellent, stable, good - Tracking little Kayak (check the sites that show what Fishermen are doing with outfitting these cute little boats - truly amazing !) & it truly FITS LIKE A GLOVE ! Talk about Solutions - PROBLEM SOLVED ! The only reason for only 4 Stars & not 5 is the poor "Hand Well" on each side. Like others have reported, they are not quite deep enough to efficiently hold the boat very well for lifting (although it is a very light Kayak), moving, etc. You kind of have to work around it by using them as an alternative, along with just doing what you would normally do without them. However, this is just one small gripe. With all the positive things about this little Kayak, I just can't help but saying that you will be well-pleased with this one & I'm very glad that I chose the Spitfire 9 over the Spitfire 8 (was well worth the nominal extra money). So all you Honda Civic, etc Owners : "GO DOWN 'N GIT YA ONE" !!! Hope this Helps.
