I bought this kayak at Canoecopia 2007 in Madison, WI. I've used it more often as a solo than as a tandem. My interests are exploring small lakes, marshes and calm rivers often in connection to birding, nature study & photography.
Pros:
reasonably quick (especially with two strong paddlers), extremely stable, maneuverability is great, the seats are very comfortable and can be removed for transport or reconfigure solo/tandem
Cons:
freeboard is minimal, capacity is relatively low, during transport on the roof rack the hull shape makes the straps roar in the wind (criss-cross them to reduce this), the foot rests need to be tightened with a phillips head screw driver or else they slip (no longer truly adjustable). |
