We looked at hard kayaks but because we camp in an RV and packing would be problematic, we went with an inflatable at like 1/4 of the cost as well. I mean, hey, we looked at the cost of paddles at Cabelas and they cost $45 apiece for their cheapest ones. This kayak includes paddles and it only costed $90! Ok, this is for piddling around in calm water. I wouldn't whitewater in it but as I am 61 and my wife 60, our whitewater days have long passed. It was good for what we want to use it for. One negative is that the bag that it comes in is, frankly, poor. It didn't survive the first trip. Plan on getting a gore tex or some rip stop fabric type bag. We have bicycles and this kayak allows us to pack it on the back of a bike and peddle to the destination. Which sometimes can be a mountain lake hundreds of yards from the nearest road. It works well under that scenario. For the price and what we use it for, happy to recommend. Read full review

We couldn't wait to put this on the water and about an hour into it, our backs hurt, badly. We ended up putting beach chairs in it , the short ones. I would also like the chairs to be elevated. We received it in a timely manner, the plastic is durable and a great buy with the paddles and pump included. If it wasn't for those seats would have given it 5 stars.

Ok , this kayak is awesome, we have 2 kids so we purchased 2 kayaks. They are sturdy and track well in the water. The only downside, and it seems small but it's very important, they do no have a securing pin for the skeg. If you have the kayak on land with the skeg on it will pop out of the slide spot and sink. It's black, you'll never find it. I found a replacement skeg on eBay made by an engineer out of a white elastic that floats. It fits very securely in the slide and actually helps of the kayak to track better in the water.

Great kayak to throw in the back of your car for calm lakes and rivers. Easy to set up and fold back up, but the paddles are way too small and do not match the need for the width of this kayak (especially if you are under 5'5" or have short arms). I'm planning to try to make some simple pvc attachments to attach to the existing paddles to see if that helps. The boat is pretty solid and of good construction, but as expected with a inflatable boat the boat tends to get pushed around by the wind a lot. Overall it's a good boat for the price and a cheap easy way to get out on the water if you are on a budget or have limited storage like me.

Bought the two person kayak. Takes four minutes to inflate the kayak with the included pump. takes twenty from start to finish including inflating seats and putting them in and ready for the water. I wish they included folding instructions as you need to get it right to get it back in the bag. The pump should have a deflation mode to pull all the air out. One thing I ran into first time out is the valve unit has a retaining ring to keep you from loosing it. Make sure that ring is in place and not pinched between valve unit and the valve seat welded to the kayak. The rudder could come off and sink, so I attached a string from it to the kayak. Last thing is the clear plastic gauge they give you will get lost when you put it down. It is clear with two little lines on it and not easy to spot. I made one of yellow plastic and put the two lines on it 10 CM apart. The kayak tracks well and moves though the water very nicely. Read full review
