  • Great Kayak
Color: FUNKADELIC
We took our kayaks out for the first time today... We loved them!!! Easy to carry, they don't get full of water, and they glide very easily... My husband and I are in our late 50's and had never kayaked before... we had no issues! These are really nice kayaks..and the colors are so vibrant and beautiful ( We ordered cotton candy) I got a 10Ft. and my husband bought a 12ft. We haul them in the back of our truck. They are well balanced and easy to get in and out of and the seat is comfy. I love the cup holder and the storage. Just a super nice all around kayak. ... show more

  • Fun Get Outside
My Husband picked them out. They fit in the back of our full size pick up, with some hanging out the back. We have been taking them out on a small lake nearby. They seem very stable. They glide through the water effortlessly. I like the foot rests to push on while I paddle. Excellent dry storage area. We store our fishing poles in there while transporting to the lake. The rails on the sides are great for paddle holders and such. They have been fun sorry to see the warm weather leave but will be fun next year too and many others. ... show more

  • Kayak: 5 stars! shipping issues: -1 star
Color: Dapper
Once we finally got a kayak, it was fantastic. This was the 3rd order. The first two were damaged in shipping and subsequently cancelled by Amazon. Once I got the Kayak? Worked great. I am a larger paddler and I took it on a big river. It was secure, safe and very comfortable. Highly recommend.

  • Very happy!
I just received this Kayak today. We will be taking it out for the maiden voyage tomorrow. The build quality is great. There are no burrs, the seam is perfect, and the finish is great. We also have a Jackson Kayak that was much more expensive, but I would say this one has a better overall finish. As soon as we take it out I will update the rating based on performance. ... show more

  • Arrived earlier than expected and in good shape
Color: MOSS CAMO
I haven’t had this in the water yet because the weather turned before it arrived. I purchased this “used as new” from Amazon and it arrived in the packaging I would expect a new one to come in, there are no areas on it I can see that have any damage or blemishes so I’m glad I took the chance and saved over $80 on it. I plan on mostly using it to fish the Bitterroot river and am anxious to see if I will be able to paddle upstream in it once the flow drops from spring highs. It is big enough to carry my fishing gear easily and looks big enough to be able to fish comfortably. ... show more

  • It’s perfect
Color: FUNKADELIC
I got this for my birthday after dreaming about getting one for a year. It’s super lightweight considering the size. Tracks well. The seat is comfy. Love the paddle holder. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

  • Not Durable At All
Color: Dapper
I ordered this for my husband for his birthday. I was so excited to get him this new kayak that he really wanted. I ordered it in June (his birthday is in July) and did not receive it until October! Well then when the long, long-awaited birthday present arrived, the hinged cover on the access hatch was broken. Hinges were broken right in two. So, very reluctantly, we returned it for a replacement. When the replacement came, it had a large crack in the hull. You could see daylight through it if you looked at it from inside the kayak. My husband said if he had not noticed it and took the kayak out on the water it probably would have started leaking and sank. So, we returned this one too and I'm just getting my money back. I am just crushed that my wonderful birthday present turned out to be a flimsy piece of junk. ... show more

  • The price I paid and the product I got?
Color: FUNKADELIC
I'm almost 100% sure I bought this new, but when it came in through UPS it was dirty and had tons of small kinks in it. Nothing serious, but it was definitely a shock to see scratches and bumps, pulse a hole straight through the seat. For the price I paid and the product I got, I don't know if it was worth it or not. I guess that's something I'll have to decide after getting it in the water and having it for a few months. Would I buy it again? Probably, if it was cheaper. Now knowing it'll probably have scratches once it gets to me. I love love LOVE the color and the size, pulse the built in handle. I appreciate the large storage, and the fishing holes behind the seat. It was surprisingly very well put together, very sturdy, and can clearly take a beating. It is quiet heavy, so I suggest having someone with you or buying a dolly for it. Honestly, I'm willing to live with the small scratches here and there, as long as it floats. I guess my biggest concern is the price I paid, I just assumed I would be getting something nice and shinny for something over 700$ ... show more
