I am avid kayaker and there are times when I need the stretch of a bungee with the security of a snap closure. My wife prefers the CargoLoc 45 '' diy paddle keeper I made her over my store bought Yak Attack. She says, `` It feels sturdier and it is just the right length for her needs. '' My Kayak cover will hold up to a 13' but my 'Yak is only 12. So I connect an end of a CargoLoc 45 '' to the cover's handle at each end to take up the slack. Works like a charm and because of the stretch does not stress the cover seems.

These straps were purchased for my 11 year old son ’s week long Boy Scout camp. We used a couple of these to strap his sleeping bag and mat to his tote. I liked this kind better than most because the end clasps were not hooked making the ends to what I would consider safer for a young boy. Overall a good product that I ’ m sure we will find other uses for!

Quest Canyon Review Disclaimer: I was sent this kayak to review as a promotion, free of charge. First Thoughts: It is a striking color combination with the different blues in the hull and the neon shock cords. It looks well- built and should handle many years of use if stored and taken care of. Weight and Handling: The kayak is easy to carry with two people. It can be done with 1 person, but there are no handholds on the side of the kayak. You can carry it by the edge, but it will dig into your hand and the edge is sharp. This could be remedied with some foam in the future. At 44lbs it was easy enough to load into the back of my truck and it's lighter than other kayaks I own. On the water: The kayak is very stable, so stable you can stand up in it easily. I ’ m 6 ’ and around 215 pounds and I felt like I had plenty of room to maneuver. The footrests gave my legs plenty of options in terms of comfort level. The seat is like others that offer a fold- down backrest, but with the cutout for the seat, it felt like it gave my back more support, kind of a hybrid between a folding backrest and a molded backrest. This is a kayak for people of all abilities. My 9- year- old was able to use it all the way up to my 15 year old. This would be a perfect kayak for a beginner or an extra to have on hand for taking a friend. Amenities: This is a basic entry- level kayak, and there is nothing wrong with that. You have bungee storage in the back and a place for a 5- gallon bucket( I wish I would have had one on hand to test). You have places in the front and the back of the boat to tie down. You can also use the under- seat area for storage as well as the covered part in the front. The molded water bottle holder is easy enough to reach, it could be a little deeper or have an added piece of bungee to tie things down a bit. Summary: All in all, this is a good all- around kayak. It's comfortable and easy to use for the beginner kayaker to the experienced. This is a kayak that you can buy on the way to the river or lake and have a great day.

DISCLAIMER: I received the Quest Canyon 100 kayak free of charge in exchange for my honest opinions, beliefs and experiences. No other compensation is included, especially monetary. As always, I will recommend my review not be the only one referred to when making decisions on potential purchases, as I am one perspective amongst many. TL; DR: For the price of an average pair of headphones, this is a steal of a deal, and a robust product for many years of enjoyable experiences. As a beginner, this is a no- brainer. Also a great gift for anyone desiring to explore the great outdoors with a more relaxed approach. A portable rack kit for<$ 100 is a worthwhile investment to haul this anywhere you please without the perceived need to spend a hefty amount towards a fancy roof setup for your vehicle.

My background is in art, cardistry, and magic( tricks). Only in the last 4 years- after my 5th accident- did I start getting heavily into the outdoors lifestyle. Decades of living in- city surrounded by walls, I yearned for a little freedom and escape from the typical cycle of daily life. From open water swimming to minimal camping, I discovered the peace and healing that came with moving my body and stepping away from social protocols and long- term screen time. Only in the last six to eight months, after seeing the river littered with a variety of different kayaks( and my ever- growing desire to camp in more remote locations), has my interest in them really grown. And thanks to DSG, I finally get to begin my journey down this new adventurous path. PLASTIC: Majority of the population, irregardless of location, have heavily misguided beliefs when it comes to the word `` Plastic ''. Plastic is not just that low- quality thin clear sheet that is harmful to the planet and breaks/melts easily, or even a sign that something is `` cheap ''. Plastic in all its many forms and qualities exist in every corner of our lifestyles and daily uses. It is one of the top materials used for military- grade stuff( aside from rubber). It is in our phones, clothing, electronics, solar setups, our cars( windshields have plastic in between the glass layers to prevent them from shattering/exploding). Even Bullet- proof/resistant items have plastics in them& would n't be effective without their inclusion. High Density PolyEthylene is a preferred choice for products like kayaks for a number of reasons crucial to the creation and life- term of the vessel. HDPE is more demanding to mould than LDPE/LLDPE( Low- Density), which is what also enables it to have good scratch- resistance and impact- resistance. It is built to be tougher and withstand extreme temperatures, things like strapping to a car roof does n't cause it to melt from the heat nor be easily affected by UV rays from the sun. And in AZ, there's more than healthy amounts of hardcore sun- time to go around. Dragging this on the ground will not be as detrimental to its lifespan either as a kayak built with softer or more complicated materials. Because HDPE does n't stretch as easily, the kayak is also not slippery smooth& easier to grasp. HDPE is the most environmentally stable, giving off no harmful fumes. Furthermore, they require only a fraction of the energy needed to produce steel from iron ore. Aesthetics: I am in love with the color. Having been sent for the purposes of this review, did not have a say in what color scheme would be available. My favorite colors are blue and green. The outside is a beautiful whirlwind of 50 shades of green( and a nice lime/neon flair on the bottom), whilst the inside is a nice solid dark blue, a matte and slightly muted/toned down IKB( International Klein Blue), if you will. The kayak looks smooth to the glance, yet has subtle texture for better grip, although not so much that it feels abrasive. I 'm a tactile person, I appreciate things that not only look and function well, but also feel good to the touch. Comfort: The kayak comes equipped with a basic ergonomic padded seat, about 3mm in thickness, from neoprene- like material. It is tolerable for shorter trips, although I do oblige opting in for something more forgiving to the derriere. It is, after all, where you will be seated for the duration of the trip. Around the seating area are 4 extra holes with screws keeping them plugged, to allow for different seat types. The backrest is hard, not soft as on some other kayaks. Which of course is a great positive as a softer one is harder on the core and the constant give and movement affects the posture and back support, and in turn the overall movement of the kayak. That being said, I will be adding a gel cover to the backrest as well. I intend to ride this for hours on end as the weather gets warmer, very glad there are options to modify the kayak to a certain degree in spite of being an entry model. Moreover, the backrest is not only adjustable, it's also removable. The grey tab between the base of the backrest flips outwards, thus enabling its removal. The Canyon has graduated footwells on either side, allowing up to 5 leg adjustments. This comes with a number of drawbacks, the most obvious being the lengths are limited to what is available. The other downside is how the feet rest in these footwells. They do n't fit as well as pegs or another form of support, and the ankles are prone to turning as the legs are used for anchorage. Nevertheless, this should only be irksome to only the most nitpicky or sensitive of users. Just so happens that one of those users is me. As with the seat and backrest, the footwells can be replaced with something more custom or ergonomic, as they 're held down by two screws on either end. For anyone else in the same kayak( haha) as myself, there are workarounds without the need to blow a lump sum of money towards a fancy custom rig or giving up on the idea of kayaking altogether. Storage: Let's first get the negative out of the way. The phone groove holder. It's a tad too shallow, and there are no rubber grips or anything to keep it from falling out. I briefly attempted keeping my phone on there, only for it to unhinge almost immediately. It is, however, wide enough to accommodate most phone sizes. Personally will not ever be using it to hold any electronic devices whatsoever, not worth the risk. Not until such time do I mod it to be more secure, and attach a leash to it like I do the paddle and myself. The groove for the bottle holder is excellent. It 'll hold virtually any bottle thanks to its wide yet adequately deep curve. Mine did n't budge an inch throughout my ride. Using the wall of the phone holder as support, it is even firmer in its placement. There is a single paddle- keeper on the starboard side, with a groove for the paddle shaft so it does n't rattle about when transporting the kayak or even if just chilling in the water for an extended period. It can accomodate, should one desire, 2- 3 paddles if necessary. I have removed the blade portions and stored it elsewhere on the kayak so the paddle- keeper is only accommodating the shafts and the blades are n't sticking out as they otherwise would. The bungee is solid and firm, and easily replaceable should it lose integrity over time or needs more slack for holding down more items. There are bow and stern bungees for extra storage capabilities. In relation to the previous paragraph, I use the bow to hold the paddle blades, as they sit nice and flush( as can be, they 're curved) and out of the way when carrying. The stern bungees hold more, especially thanks to the rear well directly below them. However, the area doubles as a 5- gallon bucket holder. Meaning, if one chooses to have a bucket, then no space for storage of other items. And vice versa, if one has the space taken up by other items, no space for a 5- gallon bucket. No need to fret, there is a positive alternative I discovered which I 'll be sharing here soon enough. The inside of the kayak is almost entirely hollow and virtually void of obstacles. Initially I was confused, what is the purpose of all that space, aside from ample room for stray water to collect in? Then it struck me! Why not make use of all that emptiness and fill it with more potential for further adventure?! As an avid bushcrafter and off- gridder, and the fact that I have over 100lb of weight to muck around with( I 'm 162lb), I can store all my essentials and then some. Then kayak to a different spot, make a day or weekend of it, and head back, all in a day's work. The ability to travel further to places not accessible by feet or wheels or air at the drop of a hat is a privilege very few get to experience. Now, around a fraction of an average person's rent, practically anyone can. Handling+ Transportation: The multi- chine design is a smart choice on Quest's part for a recreational/beginner kayak to perform above and beyond what is generally expected in such an affordable& basic model. It provides better balance, stability, less of the kayak is touching the water which results in less drag and swifter turns. The front end is meant to slice through the water and waves cleaner, hence the pointier and narrower cut, whilst the back is wider and flatter to keep the kayak from wanting to flip or get out of alignment. I wanted to cover all possibilities and uses of the kayak as I intend to put this through some serious work and conditions( just comes with my lifestyle) so I tested how it

I tried Canyon Kayak from Dick ’s Sporting Goods during this weekend. It was a nice outing and I liked how Canyon performed on water and even before that. First of all, the kayak has a very comfortable handle on the back and front which makes transporting it very easy. Kayak is not heavy and quite wide. It handles waves pretty well and is super stable. Sitting area is wide as well – makes it convenient to get in and out of the kayak. I personally like that it has several positions for the feet, so you could change your posture while in the water and give your legs some rest. Canyon is made from very durable material – you could go on rapids in it without fear. And again, it ’s not only durable, but super stable, so you wouldn ’ t turn over into the water. Specially recommend Canyon Kayak for those, who just started kayaking as it gives you stability on water and comfort for your fit.

I received this Quest Canyon kayak free in return for this review. Upon first sight I fell in love with the gorgeous, vibrant color. The seat is a simple design and has a back that is adjustable for sitting straight up to a more laid back style. It was comfortable for a short trip but I can see that if I 'm going to be on the water for several hours I am going to want to add a cushion. I like the molded drink holder but feel like it needs a strap since your drink will be laying on it's side. There are no places inside to clip a caribener to secure gear in case of turning over. The rear storage area is good sized and you can secure gear in that area. The foot pegs are comfortable. The cockpit opening is large and I was able to get in and out easily. I am 5' 6 '' and weigh around 200 pounds and there was ample room for moving around inside. I could easily take a medium sized dog or child with me in the boat. I am impressed by the thickness of the plastic this kayak is made from. It is thicker than other kayaks we already own but it does seem easier to scratch. This kayak tracks well, while also being very responsive so as to avoid obstacles. I gave a little more than moderate effort to rock the boat side to side, testing stability. At one point I actually sloshed water into my boat without ever feeling like I might tip over. I think it would take a lot to turn it over. My kayak arrived with a broken handle from shipping but I contacted customer service and a replacement was sent out and was in my hands in just a few days. I would definitely purchase another Quest Canyon kayak.

The cover, HD hull, and inner cockpit bladder ensure that the kayak is durable and rigid, while the front stabilizing fin and bottom skeg provide great tracking.

This is the 4th Lifetime Kayak I ’ ve owned. It ’s by far the most stable which is crucial for somebody such as myself who frequently has one of my young kids or my petite Labrador retriever abroad. Sometimes both at the same time. I can comfortably maneuver around to grab/move gear around while on the water. The seat is very comfortable which makes it ’s easier when paddling for long periods of time. The only thing I ’ d change is the weight of the kayak. Aside from that, I highly recommend it to anyone seriously considering it for leisurely paddling, fishing, or even hunting out of

[ The manta angler exceeded my expectations. I have owned 2 other kayaks and this is the first kayak I didn ’ t feel like was going to tip over when I am in choppy water or catch waves from bigger boats, which is important to me because I usually fish bigger bodies of water. I stood up in it and casted and felt very comfortable doing it. I like where Lifetime placed the wheels on this because it is easy to move around on solid ground and the kayak doesn ’ t want to tip over because how far apart they placed them. The Manta is surprisingly easy to paddle for how big it is and tracks very well. My favorite feature is the four rod holders on the back. I put a fishing net in one of them and put three rods in the others. I like that I can keep the rods out of my way while paddling to my spots and can easily get to them when I am ready to fish.

I had the opportunity to be chosen to receive and review the new Manta Angler from Lifetime Products. Took it out for a couple hours before we got rained out. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of paddling and how well it tracked. I expected it to be more cumbersome with the width and shape but it performed alot better than anticipated. It even glided with decent momentum when not paddling. Same thing with turning. I did n't have a problem maneuvering it around. The stability standing up was amazing. I felt quite comfortable moving around and never felt `` tippy, '' or like I had to compensate for balance. The stand assist strap is great. I really like the front bar for an anchor and like the addition of the 2 pole holders behind the seat to make 4. I 'll probably use the extra to put my nets. The handles we 're great for loading/ unloading. The wheels underneath are nice for ease of maneuvering around while getting ready, but I would question the longevity of the plastic material and would n't rely on it too much for long- distance transport. The rear storage well did seem a little shallow upon first look, but after taking it out, I feel the stability makes up for that. It does have a ton of space and overall deckspace, which is awesome. I 'll probably add a couple of padeyes to the center of the kayak to hook stuff to. The gear tracks are made of plastic but feel solid. The front gear tracks and rod holders are a little too forward to comfortably reach on the water but could be used for different things or Gopros when banked. Same concept with the front hatch, but that's typical with front storage on all kayaks. The stability DOES allow you to crawl forward and reach them or reach them while standing. The adjustable footpeg design and being able to adjust the distance while sitting is great. The trolling motor mount I have n't installed yet( I dont own a trolling motor) is a great feature as I see a lot of people rigging their kayaks trying to figure out how to mount one.( I might actually buy one now that im getting older.) I did choose to use the paddle that came with it because, well they 're nice enough to provide one and was actually quite impressed with it. Lifetime stepped their game up with the paddle. I felt little to no flex and never felt the need to switch to the spare paddle I brought. Overall, I really like the kayak and will definitely get a lot of use out of it. I feel they definitely hit the nail on the head for what it's advertised as. A super stable fishing kayak at a great price.

I received this beautiful Quest kayak from# DicksSportingGoods so that I could check it out and review it for y'all. This kayak is 10 ft and weighs right at 47 lb. It came in a versatile Orchid color. I really liked how dark the grays and purples are, alongside the vibrant pinks. The first thing I noticed about this boat is how light it was. You can just pick it right up on your shoulder and there are padded handles( actually knee pads which makes this doubly wonderful) so you could carry it with no issue. As it's weighted evenly, it balances well; it feels like it weighs practically nothing. I could walk a mile with this boat on my shoulder. After I cut the plastic off, I took some pictures and noticed that I needed to remove film from the decal of the word Outlands. Be careful when you pull it off and do pull at an angle, so you wo n't pull any of the letter edges up with you. The letter' L' is very thin and if you go straight at it, it 'll peel up, too. You can see from the picture, I had the film at an angle and I had no more problems. I had to look longingly at the boat for almost a week in my yard because it was so cold out and I just could not get my old self out onto the water. But eventually this 69° day came around and I headed out to play. I easily loaded it up and secured it with a cable through a scupper hole and took off. On the way I stopped to gas up and the girls beside me were quick to let me know they wished I had another boat, so they could come too. That feels good, guys. When I finally got on the water I could n't help noticing how easily the boat handled; there's a definite improvement over my sit- on- top and I had no trouble cutting against the wind. The Quest Outlands has a padded backrest and I was actually able to adjust it for comfort. Being able to change that up was the best. It was a simple addition but it matters bc it can change pressure points after a few hours on a lazy river. I 've never had a functional dry well and it was a real game- changer; I felt safer with all my electronics being in there. I did not go fishing so I did n't use the rod holders nor the rear well. There are knee pads in addition to a ton of knee room to spread out in and I did n't get that claustrophobic feeling that comes after being in one too long. The foot wells are perfectly situated to be out of your way when you do n't need to use them. They did not bother me at all. I have longer legs and I had plenty of room to stretch out. When I got back to the bank, I did n't have to fight with it to get the water out because there's a drain plug which is just extra convenient and makes it easy to load. Overall, I love this boat and I 'd absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting an upgraded kayak at a bargain price point. I named her Rhoda.

I 'm very much a novice when it comes to kayaking, so I was sure to stay on flat water. Favorite features: Handles easily in water Paddles are sturdy Love that it has a dry storage area( thought it was a fish holding spot at first) Big back area to store dry bag and other larger items Concerns: It's heavy for me so if going out by myself, I will have to figure out a method to haul it on my own. Husband carted it for me..

Highly impressed with the Quest Outlander kayak! The ample leg space ensures comfort during long paddling sessions, and the smooth paddling experience makes every journey enjoyable. The built- in dry storage keeps belongings safe and secure, while the convenient fishing pole holders make angling hassle- free. Plus, the seat is incredibly comfortable, allowing for extended adventures on the water. A top- notch kayak for both leisure and fishing enthusiasts!

I had the opportunity to take my Quest Outlands 100 Kayak from Dick's Sporting Goods out today for a little fishing trip. Getting into the kayak and onto the water was extremely easy for me, thanks to a dedicated kayak launch that I used at a local park. I 've never used a sit- in kayak before, so I assumed that it would not be too stable... but I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong, and it was probably the most stable kayak that I 've ever used while in the sitting position. There is a nice bucket holder in the back, which allowed a place for my smaller 3 gallon bait bucket. It was just at the right height to turn in my seat and get a live shrimp out to bait my hook. Even though it was overcast much of this afternoon, I still found myself getting thirsty while paddling out to the mangrove islands to fish. I noticed the well- positioned water bottle holder, which perfectly held my Yeti bottle and kept in at arms reach. I even utilized the built- in phone holder with the attached bungee to do a Facebook live video while on the water. My favorite part of the kayak was the built- in fishing rod holders. They were deep enough to store my moderately long rod handles, and easy to turn in my seat to get. The only design change that I would have liked to see would be the direction the rods point while in the holders. They should go straight back, instead of to the left& right of the kayak. I only mention this because I had to wait until I was off of the kayak launch dock to put them into their holders, so they did n't hit anything going out or coming in. The plastic on the built- in side rails( above the knee pads) had a little flex in them after attaching a third rod holder to it, but was sufficient for a place to hold my rod while taking the fish off of the hook. The paddle holder on the side was the nice touch, and I found myself sliding the tip of the paddle under the front bungee cords to hold it in place while I cast my fishing pole. Overall, I really like this little kayak and look forward to going on more trips around our Intracoastal waterways with it.

The Quest Outlands 10 ’ sit- in kayak is a great boat at a very reasonable price. It ’s versatile enough to serve as a lake paddler, mild river runner, or fishing vessel. Pros:- Tracks well in flat water. Does not tend to turn when paddling as some other kayaks will- Large waterproof hatch storage lets you carry a multitude of items without worrying about them getting wet or falling off the boat- Two fishing rod holders come standard, pre installed in the boat- A gear trac rail is installed on the starboard side. These are great for attaching a variety of items such as a fish finder, cup holder, additional fishing pole holders, etc.- A paddle keep comes pre installed on the port side- Phone holder for when you don ’ t want it locked away in storage- Stern and bow have deck storage secured by bungees. Additionally, the stern has a pre- molded spot perfect for keeping a 5 gallon bucket which can come in handy while fishing. The recessed stern storage area also has two scupper holes to allow excess water to drain from it.- Bow& stern handles pre installed for ease of transport Cons:- 275lb max weight limit may not be sufficient for all paddlers. You ’ ll want to keep your weight and all that of your gear at or under 220 for the best experience in this kayak- The cup holder is horizontal, so it will work for closed lid beverages, but not open top ones. The good news is you can always add a cup holder onto the side gear rail system

I bought the Pelican Classic 120 a month ago. I have been out in it several times and will agree with other reviews that say it is comfortable, quite stable and needs tracking help in any wind. I ended up building a skeg for it rather than order options found on line. The skeg improved tracking in wind greatly. Paddling is fine but it is not a fast kayak by any means. Mostly due to the hull design. It does have a good load capacity which came in handy paddling in bundles of firewood to a remote campsite in VT. I have no regrets with the purchase and will recommend to those wanting a decent fishing kayak.

I took my new Quest Teton Kayak out this afternoon for the first time. The two most important characteristics I look for in a kayak are stability and tracking. This kayak felt great in both categories. I had no trouble at all fishing out of it. It seems to feel durable and made to last. I really enjoyed the bungee paddle holders on both sides. That made storing my paddle while fishing very convenient. The rod holders behind the seat are deep and felt secure. The cutout in the back to hold a 5- gallo bucket is also nice. My favorite feature might be the seat. It ’s very, very comfortable. Overall, I am very pleased with the Quest Teton Kayak so far.

I received my Quest Teton 100 kayak last week and it has exceeded all my expectations! As a plus size woman who owns a competitor brand kayak, I was nervous about the comfort and ease of use. The adjustable seat places the paddler in a comfortable position, without restricting their movement and putting them within easy reach of allof the amenities the kayak offers. I love how quickly and easily the seat detaches to be stored out of the elements. The built- in dry storage compartment was a pleasant surprise, and the multitude of storage options will be very helpful when we go on long paddle trips on our local lake. The carry handles are very comfortable, and I especially appreciate the handles on the sides as it makes it easy for one person to move around easily. I 'm looking forward to finding accessories to use with the built- in rails. Quest did n't overlook any details when designing the Teton 100 Kayak- from the paddle keeper bungee straps, to the multi- point adjustable seat, and the built- in fishing rod holders, this kayak will appeal to paddlers of all ages and abilities. I am fortunate Dick's Sporting Goods asked me to review the Teton 100 as now my other kayak will sit in the garage collecting dust!

HI, I received the Quest Teton 100 Kayak for a free review, but let me be clear: my honesty is worth more than that. Here's my genuine take: This kayak is a deal for fishing enthusiasts! It's packed with features: comfy removable frame seat, sturdy handles, bungies for securing fishing crates or dry bags, gear tracks, even a storage hatch! All at an affordable price. I took it out on a rough weather day, rigged with two rods and my crate. I still caught fish and had a blast! The Teton handled well. Bottom line: it's a great buy for the price and pure fun. Not perfect, obviously, but it delivers. Just know its limits – stick to the weight capacity and good conditions. Happy paddling! Note: My rating is 4. 5 out of 5 but it is either 4 or 5 on the starts lol

Purchased this for our son for Christmas. Took him out on the lake and he absolutely loved it. When we got home I noticed that there was water in the shaft of the paddle. It seems that the water was coming in from around the blade. Contacted Lifetime via email and explained to them what was going on. Received a very quick response from their customer service. Once they had all the information they needed they sent out a new paddle immediately. It's great to know that there are still some companies out there with Great Customer Service. My son is 12 and says that it's easy to paddle and seems very stable. We had some inflatable kayaks and he hated them. I 'd say that they are definitely worth the money.

[ Wow lifetime really outdid themselves with this kayak! The option to not only switch between a sit- inside and sit- on- top kayak is amazing! But how easy it is to switch back and forth was even more amazing. So easy my 9 year old could do it! As a family of 5 that loves to be outdoors the option to have the best of both worlds with a sit- on- top so we can easily jump off and climb back on for a quick dip in the lake or when needed take 30 seconds to convert this into a sit- inside if we want to stay a little more dry or decide to take this down the river and avoid the overspray. I also loved the cockpit storage compartment to easily store my phone for easy access. Lifestyle thought of it all with the storage deck on back to pack snacks/ packs etc. This kayak is also extremely comfortable! The padded seat was soft and the boat is nice and roomy.( I ’ m 6ft tall for reference) It is also very sturdy and we can ’ t wait to get back on the lake/river with our new cabrio kayak!

[ I was given the opportunity to test this kayak for Lifetime. I used to kayak a lot, both whitewater and recreational. Now I have 4 kids and I have not been able to be as active as I would have liked. This kayak caught our eye because for our kids the sit on top feature is really nice, they do not feel trapped and they like to jump on and off. For me, it was nice to have the ability to put the cover on and stay a little drier. If. I get a chance to take it on a river the cover is nice to avoid all the water coming over the edge. I really like the storage area on the back, there is a little storage at the front as well and even a small place in the cover for small items that would stay dry. the kayak is very large and stable, great for beginners, though it is very large. It is also heavy, definitely a two person job to move it and load it most of the time. The handles seem durable and are convenient for carrying the kayak to the shore. The cover comes on and off easily, my eleven year old had no problem taking it off then putting it back on. This is a great family recreation boat!

Kayak Cliff
Wow! What a great idea. Many kayakers want a sit on top for the warmer months of the year, while they might also want a sit inside for the cooler months of the year. Or, they might want a sit inside on a summer day to keep the sun off their legs. The Cabrio 11- does both! It ’s a convertible! Pull it ’s top off for an open air sit on top experience, or put it ’s top on for a sit inside experience. It ’s your choice! My favorite feature is the little cubby hole storage area for my phone that is in easy reach just under the sit inside cover, really cool idea! This seems like a very durable kayak with its HDPE construction and I really like how Lifetime has treated the kayak to resist UV damage, like they do all of their other outdoor products! Check out the Cabrio 11- it ’s worth your time and money!

[ I really like that I have options to choose from a sit in to sit on top. Transitioning between the two was really easy and I could do by myself. It handled really well in the water better than my other sit on top kayaks. It balances really nicely so if you ’ re not sure of your skills you will be comfortable giving kayaking a try on this. It did take 2 of us to move it. I ’ m sure a taller stronger person would have no trouble. I am 5 ’ 4 ” and used the foot rest at the very top, so there is definitely plenty of room for a taller person. But it also was a nice fit for me. The sit in top does have a lip so you could put a skirt on it, but I wouldn ’ t as there ’s is nothing on the side connection that would stop water from coming in like a rubber seal. For the small details it has a curve in the top side and strap for your paddle holder. A small cubby you could put your phone and stuff in with easy access and it ’s not on the floor. There is a lay down cup holder, which held my drink but I didn ’ t like as my bottle got wet. And sometimes I have a drink that the lid is open so I would have nowhere to put it. All together though this is a great option if you want the best of both worlds. I plan on taking this instead of my other kayaks so I can transition and enjoy the best of both!

This is my 4th Kayak but my 1st tandem. We purchased it so we would not have to bring so many kayaks for the family to enjoy the sport together. First time out I had my eight- year- old son in front of me and my five- year- old son behind me and I paddled from the center of the kayak. I was able to navigate with no problem with only me paddling and turning was a breeze. It tracks very straight and true. Later in the day I moved to the rear of the kayaked with the five- year- old in the middle and the eight- year- old in the very front. Even when my son in the front got tired of paddling, I was able to control the whole boat from the rear with minimal extra effort. I will be taking this on a camping trip by myself as a solo kayak because I have so much extra room for all my camping gear. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice big solo or a good tandem.

I bought one a couple months ago. My wife and I own several different kayaks. The Rambler is the most stable kayak I have ever tried. I can bring just about anything along that I want; A big cooler, big tackle box, anchor., fishing pole. I bring cushions along. Why? So I can put the seat backrest down and take a nap on this kayak! I take toddlers along and they feel very secure on the kayak. One note, I bought a role of Velcro to put on the seat surfaces so the seat does n't slide around. I just bought a second Rambler to bring my novice friends out with me.

This Old Town 106 power by Minnkota is a game changer. I would compare this to more of a one- man boat as it is so incredibly stable, comfortable and easy to use. Fishing capability and storage organization is so well thought of. It truly provides a hands free fishing experience. Battery life has been great as I can be out for 8+ hours trolling around and still have juice to spare. This is running with a normal Group 27 DC lead acid battery which is also powering my fish finder. The only suggestion for improvement would be to provide an auxiliary power connection for those that wish to run both the trolling motor and fish finder off the same battery. I had to splice in my own auxiliary power connection off the 12V main lead. Other than that this kayak has met my needs right out of the box and I would say is worth every penny. I have had it for 2 months now and every time I use it still brings a smile to my face!

This is the perfect kayak for a left handed person to operate. I almost always troll baits holding my fishing rod with my left hand and adjusting the throttle with my right hand.

Purchased the Sportsman 106MK in February and I absolutely love it. This is the 3rd, Kayak/ inflatable I have owned, and I know it will be the last. This unit has everything a Kayak fisherman needs, and provides great comfort. I Did n't want the hassle of fuel, motor maintenance, and a large towable boat, this is exactly what I needed. I 've had it in the water several times, and each time, I am surprised with how easy it cuts through the water. Other fisherman constantly comment on the kayak, and ask where I got it. This morning I heard one man tell his fishing partner, as they fished from the shoreline, `` that's the perfect boat ''... I agree! I am so pleased with the responsiveness, the speed and stability, and the comfort. At 6' 1 '' I thought this might be too small, but I was wrong. I have plenty of room for my gear, and can fish in this kayak all day long. Thank you Old Town!

I had been considering purchasing a fishing kayak for about five years. So many choices out there! I 've had my PDL 132 for about a month, logged a fair amount of time in it and caught a lot of fish to include a few pretty big ones. Fishing and fighting fish from the seat is very comfortable and fun. Organizing all the gear I need is easy. My cast net fits behind my seat. I removed the carrying handle from a mid sized cooler and replaced it with a triple rod holder using SS screws and 5200. This fits in the generous bed behind the seat and is secured by the bungee cord system that comes with the kayak. One loop over the handle facing forward and the other over the rod holder, securing the cooler to the kayak but allowing me to easily open the lid of the cooler to put fish in. I put two rods and a landing net in those rod holders and a third rod goes in one of the other two aft facing integrated rod holders. I found the rails located forward of the seat to be unhelpful so I removed them and laced a bungee cord back and forth between the screws using SS fender washers to pin the cord down. Now, a tackle box the size of the one that comes with the kayak will easily stow on each side. I fish with one in the port side, two under the seat and use the starboard stowage for pliers, fish grabber and other items I need to get to often. A boat bag easily slips under the seat that holds other misc gear. The universal transducer mount is not universal:-), but it was easy to drill the holes in the removable plate needed to mount my Lowrance transducer. Running the wires was incredibly easy and required no hole drilling that resulted in a professional looking install that only took a few minutes. I mounted my chartplotter/FF to the removable plate located to the right of the pedals and stowed the excess data cable neatly in the space underneath. The power cable is routed under the forward hatch cover not requiring any drilling. Note: when selecting your electronics, avoid a unit with a transducer mounting system that will put the transducer below the plane of the hull or risk damaging it when you drag the craft over anything. The battery stowage bag is sized to fit a small 12V battery. I purchased a 10ah battery which fits very neatly in there, but found I needed more run time and upgraded to a larger battery placed in a stowage box which I am still problem solving for a better solution to prevent it from sliding around the forward hatch. The integrated bow carrying handle is great. I run a tie down strap through it when securing my kayak inside my truck and another strap across the middle, through the side carrying handles to finish the aft secure. This approach is incredibly fast and easy and leaves no doubt that the kayak is not going to slide out of the truck. The aft integrated handles are in the right place and make it easy to get a good purchase on the stern when carrying with another person. While on the water, I use the opening of the forward carry to hold a small anchor. I route the line through the carrying handle, under the round bar of the pedal unit and tie it off to the carrying handle on the same side. The anchor line goes in an anchor line bag stowed in the forward hatch. That anchor is used on every trip whether to dig into the beach preventing the kayak from floating away on a rising tide while I 'm walking the shore throwing the cast net for bait or holding position near a school of fish. A factory integrated anchor mounting system on the bow would be a huge plus. I can really scoot with the pedal system even against a strong current and troll for hours effortlessly, which I must say I did not expect. The rudder friction knob feels a little `` economical '' and I think there is a better system to be had. The stainless screw is slowly cutting the groove it rests in and I find that I need to remove the chips it cuts to keep the rudder control moving freely. Perhaps more of a cam type brake would be an improvement? After looking at so many other fishing kayaks over the past few years, when I saw the PDL 132, I knew why I had n't purchased a fishing kayak until now. After several trips, the differences are even more clear. I am extremely happy with my new Old Town and glad I waited for the right one to take to the dance.

I bought my BW PDL 132 in February and have used it about weekly for a couple of months. I fish tidal creeks and rivers, some open ocean, and freshwater lakes and rivers. I am very satisfied with the kayak. The pedal drive is fantastic! I have found that I anchor a lot less with it because it ’s so easy to maintain position while fishing using the pedal drive and rudder. It ’s incredibly fast and powerful. I have had no trouble bucking strong tidal currents with it. The weakest part of the kayak is the rudder system. It feels clunky and awkward as opposed to the PDL drive, which feels well designed, tight, and efficient.

This is my review of the Quest Passage sit- on- top kayak sent to me by Dick's Sporting Goods. The kayak is easy to pick up and transport with the kayak only being 49lbs. I had no issues getting in or out of the kayak because of its stability. I did n't feel like it was going to tip over with its hull design, and the width being 31 inches. The length being 9. 9 feet from bow to stern made the kayak track well and it was easy to paddle. The molded in footrests were a plus because I could change my foot position anytime with ease. The seat was comfortable the entire duration of time that I was on the water. Easy storage at the front and rear of the kayak makes for a great day on the water for anyone

Just had a chance to take out my kayak on a nearby river and was extremely pleased by the experience I had. The area on the back to place a bucket is an added bonus and great for fishing trips. Looking forward to many more rides on my new kayak!!

I was fortunate to review the new quest passage kayak. The kayak was very stable and easy to maneuver in the water. Seat was very comfortable, straps to adjust are a plus! Rear well for storage is of great size. I received the orchid fusion color which was really nice. The kayak arrived in excellent shape and seems very durable. Very impressed with this kayak!

The Quest Passage 100 kayak is a light weight, fun, playful sit on top kayak. I own a few other kayaks, all 14 feet of more and this was a pleasant change from lugging around a long, heavy boat. Construction and durability seemed solid on par with other makes. When I got it out on the lake, I was surprised by its stability and tracking. Very fun and maneuverable kayak on the open water. It would work perfect for a fishing setup. This will be my go to boat for camping trips during the summer when I prefer to pack light. My favorite feature was the cut out to to place a five gallon bucket and the general open storage setup. This kayak was provided to me an exchange for review
Bungee cords are essential for securing gear and equipment on a kayak, providing a reliable way to keep your belongings in place while paddling. They offer flexibility and stretch, allowing for easy attachment and removal of items. Additionally, their lightweight nature makes them an ideal choice for minimizing extra weight during your kayaking adventures.
Bungee cords for kayaking are typically made from durable rubber or elastic materials, often encased in a protective outer layer. This construction helps ensure that they can withstand exposure to water and UV rays, which is crucial for outdoor use. The materials used also contribute to the cord's elasticity and strength, making them suitable for various loads.
When selecting a bungee cord for kayaking, consider the length and thickness based on the size of your kayak and the gear you plan to secure. Look for cords with strong hooks or attachment points for added security. Additionally, consider the elasticity of the cord, as a good bungee should stretch to accommodate different loads while maintaining its grip.
Yes, bungee cords are versatile and can be used for a variety of outdoor activities beyond kayaking. They are commonly used for securing items during camping, hiking, or even for organizing gear in vehicles. Their flexibility and strength make them suitable for any situation where you need to secure or stabilize equipment.
Durability is a key factor when choosing bungee cords for kayaking, as they need to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. Look for cords that are resistant to wear and tear, UV damage, and water exposure. Additionally, consider the quality of the hooks and attachment points, as these components also play a significant role in the overall durability and reliability of the bungee cord.
