We love these kayaks! They are sturdy for beginners, yet lightweight and easy to maneuver on water or to transport. They are very comfortable to ride in for hours. Excellent price point as well!

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. DETAILS: Length- 9' 9 '' Width- 31 '' Cockpit( LxW)- 38 '' x20 '' Weight- 44lb Max Load- 275lb Capacity- 1 Person Type- Sit- In Price-$ 299. 99 Material- HDPE( High- Density Polyethylene) Warranty- 1- year Non- Transferrable Assembled- in the USA 1/3 Quest 100- Beginner/Recreation Edition Recommended For- Recreational, Calm/Slow Waters, Small Lakes/Rivers Who Am I? 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.

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 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

[ This is the dream boat! Live in a place where you cant store your outdoor toys but still want to do your outdoor adventures? This is the right tool for the job! Yeah, it takes a moment to figure out how to set it up and take down, but once you do, you can throw it in the back of a Cinquecento if thats what you are driving. And then you can throw it in the back of your closet to keep till your next run out on the water. And it is pretty! You dont need special roof racks, you dont need a partner to help you load it, you dont need a three car garage. All you need is a river or lake to get on!

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 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

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

I splashed the new Quest Huron 8' sit- in kayak today and I am really happy with this sharp little yak! First, it's very portable. The 8' hull and 35lb weight makes it easy to load/unload solo and it fits inside my small SUV with the seats down( see photo). The front and back handles are great for getting it to the launch site when your buddy is assisting. Next, is the design. I 'm 5' 2 '' so a benefit of this model is the higher seat design that keeps my elbows and wrists from hitting the sides while paddling, which is an issue for me with other brands. The multi- chine hull tracks really well, allowing me to keep up with stronger paddlers and I did n't really miss not having foot rests on the inside of the hull so there is plenty of room for gear and my feet. I did not experience any wave splash on this windy day because of the generous free- board sides so the hull stayed completely dry. But if you did need to drain this boat there is a fixed drain as well as a removeable plug for fast water removal. The bungees, front, back and for the paddle, are super important to me for lashing gear down. And there is a fun little elevated bottle holder to keep my phone off the bottom of the boat. Nice touch! Overall, this is more than an intro- level kayak and suits my needs of portability, stability in the water, extra features, and durability. I expect to get years of use from the Quest Huron Kayak.

I 'm 5' 5 '' and 150 lbs and I was able to easily lift this onto the top of my Honda Fit. There's no need for a kayak cart as you can carry from its side. The only issue is the sides are thinner plastic with no padding so it can be uncomfortable carrying longer distances. That issue can be easily fixed by using something with padding to grab it with. I plan on cutting up a pool noodle to use. The kayak is very maneuvable in the water. I tried it out on our local lake and it's fast and easy to paddle even into the wind. The kayak is very stable as I did have some wake from a couple of boats and it rode them out easily The higher seat position was nice. It kept my butt dry and had great back support. I was worried with a sit- in that I would be cramped but at one point I took my legs out and put them on top of the kayak to just float and relax. With someone with longer legs it probably would not be as comfortable.

I had the pleasure of taking the Quest Huron 8' sit in kayak out for the first time in an adventure today. This is a comfortable little kayak that wo n't break the bank or your back. Many kayaks are too long and heavy for me to transport given my short frame. That was not the case with the Quest Huron. It is easy to lift alone and even fit in my Jeep Patriot for a solo paddle. For me, the lightweight and small frame is the best feature of this kayak. Despite leaving out on a cold windy day; the Huron steered straight and easy for me. It has multiple storage spaces making it ideal for a lazy day trip on the river or lake. I especially enjoy the option for camera mounting and will be installing one soon! My only wish for this kayak would be more colors to choose from. It is an otherwise perfect fit for this flatwater casual kayaker. Thank you to Dicks Sporting Goods for always meeting our adventurous family with all our water sports and camping needs. I have a material connection with Dick's Sporting Goods and received free product for my unbiased opinion.

I received the Quest Huron Kayak in order to test and review it. I was impressed by the lightweight, easy to carry design. I was equally impressed by the stability of the kayak in the water in spite of its easy- to carry design. It was easy to maneuver in the water as well, due to the lightweight design. I was able to fit it in the back of my SUV, making for an easier trip to the lake rather than using the roof rack. I used a kayak cart( not included with the kayak) to make travel from the car to the water easier, and found that the handle on the front of the boat was perfect for pulling the boat while on the cart. I am 5ft 4in tall, and had plenty of room in the kayak, both getting in and out and staying seated. The seat is cushioned and adjustable for lumbar support. Overall, I would recommend the kayak for beginners and more experienced kayakers alike.

Today we tested out our new Quest Huron Kayak. I was a little leary of testing it since I am at the higher end of the suggested weight limit. It sits nicely in the water, even being on the heavier side and Is easy to get in and out of. It is made of a thinner material and I do n't think it would take alot of river rash, however with its skeg built into the body it is great on lake paddles and easy river paddles. It tracks well in the water, and is a lighter sit inside Kayak to carry to and from water. Even my kids wanted to try it out!

[ Finally got out on the water with my new Koda Aero. A few things to note:- inflated very quickly with my electric pump. Have not tried it with the floor pump.- Carrying it down to the water about 75 yards was very manageable. Not too heavy.- I chose this boat because I wanted enough room for my 70lb dog too. She fit just fine behind the seat.- Very stable and smooth paddling on the water for a few hours- definitely need to pick up a few magnetic drink attachments! Extremely happy with this purchase.

[ Very impressed with the workmanship of this Kayak. The seat is very comfortable and an all day sit while paddling or fishing is doable. The storage is convenient and keeps my items dry. You can stand to fish with a little practice as this kayak it very stable with the hill design. It is heavier than some cheaper models but the overall plastic thickness of the kayak is much greater than others I looked at. This also makes it more durable and in my opinion will last twice as long as other models. The rail system on both sides works well as well as the paddle holder on the side that is predrilled from the factory. If you are planning on using a fish finder the predrilled spot under the kayak is great for the transducer. Overall an excellent kayak in the mid price range.

So happy with the purchase. Bought it for my daughter who just moved by Lake Russell. Love that it is blue. Only saw black and white on the Oru site. Only problem was the Fed Ex shipping.

I purchased a Lake and Bay ST at the same time to replace my hard shells. I thought I would be using the Bay ST exclusively and I do love it. But I am surprised at how often I throw the Lake in the back of the car for those quick outings that still last hours. Lake is stable- the only water inside where I paddle is from my feet.

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. The sportsman106 mk should be offered with the throttle on the left side for the majority of people who are right handed.

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!

[ Just put our new Koda Aero Tandem in the water. Fairly easy to setup and inflate. Having the PSI on the valves is a nice feature. The kayak lacked instructions which had us guessing about some black parts used to stiffen the water diverters on front and back. Some pictures of the unfolding and setup would really help. The kayak was stable and easy to launch. Be sure to use the slag to help keep the kayak moving in a straight line. Without the slag it tends to turn. The first run on a local lake was smooth and Kayak stable on the water. Overall pleased with purchase and will see how it goes in the coming months.

[ After our first paddle in our Inlet Sports, my wife and I were very impressed with them. They set up easily and paddled quite nicely for 9 ’ boats on calm, flat water. There were a couple of niggling details that could use improvement: easing the ends of the “ utility rails ” so they aren ’ t square and sharp, and having some way to secure the flopping closure buckles when paddling. But other than that, we were happy with them. We have decades of experience with sea kayaks and currently own a pair of 16. 5 ’ Eddyline Journey kayaks. We got the Orus for travel purposes. Seems we made a good choice!

[ 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.

Purchased in May 2021, I upgraded from a paddle kayak when I found my AP120. I love to fly fish and this kayak allows me to slowly troll while standing and tossing flies around. Also the ability to lock into one spot and fish without an anchor is a game changer. The peddle kayaks are nice but not an option for me because I really enjoy standing while fishing most of the time with the option to sit when desired. Kayak is very stable and I feel completely balanced while standing. I use the lead acid battery for the motor and I 'm able to fish two full days on the water sun up to sundown without having to recharge the battery. I 've taken it out approximately 25 times in 5 months now and absolutely love it! Remote is very user friendly and if you hook into a big one you can quickly turn the motor off easily with a push of a button while standing if the fish makes a run directly under your Yak. The only downside is the kayak is heavy especially with a lead acid battery, but a good kayak cart takes care of that. highly recommend.

I went back and forth between The 106 Sportsman powered by MK and the Auto Pilot. I pulled the trigger on the Auto Pilot and I am so glad that I did.

There is ample storage and very well though our features every where you look.

I have been fishing from the AutoPilot 120 for about 6 months in a variety of conditions and I am extremely pleased with capabilities of the is kayak. I have always been a bit skeptical of `` motor powered '' kayaks but the technological features of the AutoPilot intrigued me. As someone who does a lot of trolling the ability to maintain a constant troll speed in the face of wind and current is absolutely amazing. I frequently use the heading feature to `` set it and forget it '' and am able to have everything prepped by the time I get to the fishing grounds or get back to the launch. The real magic of this kayak is built into the motor which I power with a lithium 100ah battery. I 've never come close to draining the battery even with 10+ hrs on the water. Deploying and stowing the motor is easy. The deck and storage space is more than ample. The chair is very comfortable. If I had to be nit- picky my biggest complaints would be that the gear track is too far forward forcing me to use extensions on my rod holders to make them reachable when trolling and limited access to the inside of the hull.

After renting this kayak from the local park multiple times, I finally purchased my own. It tracks really well as either a tandem or single( sitting in the middle seat). Foot wells are permanent but clip on seats are adjustable for the ultimate fit. Feels very sturdy and would take a large amount of effort to flip it. Not a lot of storage( I pack light anyway) but comfort and stability more than make up for that. Great kayak for me, my son, and dog, but at 12ft and under 60lbs., it is very manageable for those solo outings too. All around great kayak and would highly recommend.

It blew my mind how comfortable I felt in the middle going solo in adverse conditions. I 've had it in some large surf and some heavily currented waters. Not only did I never have any issues of any kind, I never felt like I was n't in control. It's not ideal for fishing, but it can be achieved with some patience and attention to detail. Paddle on!

Nice heavy duty kayak, yet light enough to be handled by one person. Trails nicely. Do suggest buying a set of scupper plugs though.

This kayak is super stable for one or two people in high surf and great at tracking on waves. I love this kayak for fishing, surfing or just cruising. It is worth every penny and more!!!!!

My wife and I love to be on the water together and the Oru Haven has made it easy. I am a big guy@ 6 ’ 8 ” and 250 lbs. The listed height max for the Haven is 6 ’ 6 ”. I can tell you that I have no problem entering/exiting/paddling. The Haven tracks well in flat conditions and does surprising well when the wind is up. I sit in the aft seat and my 5 ’ 8 ” and 125lbs. wife sits forward. My size 16 feet rest just aft of the forward seat but are forward of the spreader bar at mid- ship.. I don ’ t need to bend my knees at all. The kayak is waterproof in flat water. Because the Haven has such a large open cockpit, we get water into the boat from paddle drip, rain and waves coming on the beam. We are working on a simple ‘ rain fly ’ idea( we are OCD about a wet boat). But, even the water that comes in from drips and rain isn ’ t an issue. The water stays under the orange floor boards so it doesn ’ t create any wet- butt issues while we are paddling. Folding and unfolding the hull is easy. The Oru video is helpful. But, they edited out the most critical element of how the boat goes together in the final fold. Fortunately, it only took us a few extra minutes to figure it out in our living room and now it is easy. Storage inside the hull is adequate. I appreciate how easy it is to carry a 40 lbs. tandem kayak over my shoulder in box mode In summary: we don ’ t think there is a more elegant way to minimize space needs and maximize on- the- water fun.

I purchased the Haven( Tandem) and took it out on the water last weekend. The assembly confounded at first until I followed the YouTube assembly video section by section. The second time I put it together took about 10 minutes and was relatively easy( just needed good muscle). The boat is sturdy in the water, it held two adults easily, and we found it easy to steer and navigate. I like that it can convert to a single too. Fits in the trunk of my Camry easily. Only thing I 'd like to add to my Oru is a small hand cart to wheel it from the car to the dock. While it folds up nicely, at age 57 and small framed, it's still quite heavy for me to carry on a shoulder by myself. Otherwise, I have no complaints! Love it and love that I can take it all over the place to rivers and lakes.

so I had the pleasure of using this kayak this past week with my wife and 2yr old and we absolutely love it. its small enough to fit in the trunk of my Subaru and also very stable in the water. nothing but praise for the Oru Haven kayak!

[ 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!

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 first real kayak and I was torn between a sit in or a sit on option and then I found this! Super unique design and I ’ m very impressed with the quality of the product. I feel like I ’ ll have it forever. If you are thinking of using a kayak on bumpy choppy waters or just lounge on a lake it works for both. My favorite feature is the skipper plugs which allow you to drain the kayak while you are in it!

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.

The Connelly Nautic 9. 5 inflatable kayak is an outstanding product that provides good tracking and stability for us novice paddlers. With the spacious and comfortable cockpit, zippered dry hatch, and lightweight design, this kayak is perfect for all- day excursions on calm lakes or rivers. 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.

My wife and I bought this for occasional use on our yearly trip to the mountains. We wanted a tandem kayak and looked online for a used kayak. We are not professional kayakers so we were n't looking for an ultra performance kayak. A lot of the used kayaks online were in horrible condition. The new ones( brand names) were well over$ 1000. So we found this kayak out our local sporting goods store. We 've had this for 3 years now and everything works as brand new. The kayak is 10ft long so it's one of the shorter tandem kayaks, which is a perk for us. We bought seat pads and the stock seat backs work well. As mentioned this is n't the most performance kayak out there, buts it's does n't cost as a performance one does. For occasional trips to the lakes for fun relaxing floating around the water that does n't brake the bank... This is the perfect kayak.

We bought a pair of Intex Explorer K2 inflatable kayaks last summer. They were inexpensive and served as a fine introduction to paddling for our family. Immediately, though, we were turned off by the size and softness of the side pontoons, and how they felt like they were preventing us from paddling efficiently. The floor is also floppy and does n't provide much support. We knew we wanted to upgrade, but all of the boats I was looking at were out of our budget. All of these problems and more were eliminated by the Quest Patoka. Full disclosure, we 've only used it once, so I ca n't speak to long- term durability. However, I was blown away by the initial experience. The Patoka has a drop stitch floor( which is removable for easy cleaning/drying) and high pressure pontoons which are much lower profile than the Intex. Together, these features combined to make a stable, supportive boat that slid across the water with ease, even when loaded to about 75% capacity. The 12+ foot length meant there is much more leg room, the foot supports are a huge upgrade, and the rigid pontoons provide hip support without blocking paddle movement. We will probably replace the inflatable seats with foam ones for better back support, but the seats just clip to metal rings inside the boat, so we should be able to get universal ones with no problem. To my inexperienced eyes, the build quality looked good- all the visible seams look like they have a half inch or more of overlap, and the material feels solid but not brittle. The boat has two skews- a smaller one at the front and a larger one in back. Both attached and removed fairly easily. The bag it came with definitely fits everything, and pack- up does n't take any longer than with our old inflatables. I will try to remember to come back and update this review once we 've used it a few more times, but compared to tue cheap boats we had before, and the Intex Excursion that we 'd been considering( which Big 5 sells for the same price we paid for the Patoka), this kayak feels like a HUGE upgrade, and I definitely am happy with our purchase.

We bought this boat about a year ago, and I could n't be happier with it. We have two now, so our family of four and 2 dogs can all go together. We 've taken these on lakes and Puget Sound. They 've been dragged over beaches, bumped into rocks and bouys and underwater tree branches, and been climbed over by dogs with pointy nails. They blow up easily and perform every time, whether riding solo, or with another person and/or dog. I did upgrade the seat to a high- back seat from a different company for more support- and got a bleacher cushion for more padding underneath me- which makes it much more comfortable. All in all, a great portable kayak that seams to have a lot of the design/build quality of name brand boats at a fraction of the price.

The Patoka Inflatable Kayak can be 2 or 1 person. Comes with carrying Pack for easy storage and packing to your favorite spot at the water. Quite impressive with quality of this Inflatable Kayak. The lightweight maneuverability and stability. The weight limit is a max of 375 total weight. Still great for a adult and small child or one adult. Comes with everything you need to hit the water except the life jackets. Remember if you have 2 people you need 2 life jackets. Also repair kit comes with this as well. I would recommend this if you are needing to Kayak and have a small car or no storage room.

This inflatable kayak has worked well to paddle in our creek and out to the river with my son or daughter. I am careful to avoid downed trees or anything that could puncture it. We also plan to use it in the ocean and intracoastal. My 9yr old son fully inflated and assembled it by himself. It comes with 2 seats, 2 paddles, pump, repair kit, fins, and a nice zippered storage bag. While it is easy to setup, it does take some time and should be noted that there are a lot of parts to keep up with and the once inside the bag it is quite heavy and large to store or transport. For one person, it takes about 15 minutes to deflate and packup and bw 30- 45min to set up the first few times.

She had been using a 9' 6 '' big box store, generic kayak and enjoyed it. She took her maiden voyage on her Loon 120 and absolutely loved it! Initially was going to get her the Loon 106, but fortunately when I called I spoke to a staff member who explained the the 120 is better suited for a smaller stature person such as my wife. Tracks like a dream and does not require constant correction! If you are considering the 120, go for it, you will not be disappointed!

My Old Town Autopilot 136 in gray Ghost Limited Edition arrived yesterday. Was wrapped nicely in heavy gauge plastic to protect it. After unwrapping and looking it over I found the Kayak to be of very thick and well- built materials. It is a heavy craft but the quality is amazing. Customer service was very easy to deal with and quite helpful getting me the answers I needed. Very spacious kayak and lots of room for everything I want to add. Cons- I wish they gave an option for aluminum rails to replace the plastic ones. Though the plastic ones are strong I just like heavy duty for fish finders etc. I also wish they would list the model number of the included trolling motor to make it easier for looking up spare or backup parts. Would I recommend this kayak to friends? without a doubt.

The Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136 has truly revolutionized my fishing experience! After owning this kayak for several years, I can confidently say it ’s worth every penny. The standout feature for me is the Minn Kota trolling motor with Spot- Lock technology. Being able to anchor in place with the push of a button, regardless of wind or current, has allowed me to focus entirely on fishing instead of constantly adjusting my position. The stability of this kayak is unparalleled, giving me the confidence to stand and cast without worry. Its spacious deck and makes it a breeze to organize all my gear, while the comfortable seat ensures I can spend long days on the water without fatigue. What truly sets the Sportsman Autopilot apart is how it transforms the way I approach fishing. I can cover more water efficiently and position myself perfectly for each cast. Whether I 'm exploring new waters or revisiting my favorite spots, this kayak makes every outing more productive and enjoyable. If you 're serious about fishing and want a reliable, feature- packed kayak that will elevate your experience, the Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136 is a game- changer. I can ’ t recommend it enough!

There ’s nothing more in a paddle kayak you that you could possibly need. I like to stand and I wanted room without peddles or a console getting in my way. This kayak gives me so much room and stability that I can stand and turn around with no issues. Fly fishing is no problem either with extra room gained from eliminating the console. This creates a all the room you need for stripping line without the worry of your fly line getting tangled. I would recommend this kayak for anyone.

PERFECT! Fast, Stable, Tons of space. Just the right width and length. I do n't know what more I can say I have no complaints and there's nothing I would change. I 'm 200lbs 5' 10 '' could n't ask for a better kayak. Good tip this is the same as the$ 5, 000 dollar one without peddle or motor. I use it only for fishing and using just a paddle does n't bother me in the least bit. Simple stupid and when it comes to boat the less crap I have to deal with breaking i. e. peddle drives, the better. I just want to enjoy a day of fishing and not S#$ T breaking. I fish in grass weeds lily pads and the paddle is just fine you do n't need the peddle drive, most of them that come with the Kayaks are crap anyway and replacing them is around$ 2, 500-$ 3, 000 for one that wont break again

I bought the Old Town Sportsman 120 at Dicks about a month ago and could n't be happier. Been kayak fishing with a cheaper entry- level model the last few years and been wanting to upgrade for a while. Love the stability of this boat and the ability to stand up if needed. The seat is also extremely comfortable and have no issues going long hours on the water. It is a bit heavy and awkward to pick up and carry due to its size so plan to also get a cart in the future. I currently have been able to load and unload it myself into the back of my truck at the boat ramp and carry it into my garage out of my truck when done for the weekends. The included transducer mount did n't work for my Garmin Striker 4 as it would stick out under the hull which I did n't want. I went ahead and mounted with ductseal inside the hull below the bow hatch and that has been fine. The 12 footer has loads of room to pack stuff in the stern and tracks extremely well in the water as well. All around, loving this boat so far and good customer service at Dicks when picking it up.

Purchased this kayak for my girlfriend last year for her birthday. Unfortunately two of the clips for the cargo net snapped the first time she went to use it. I called customer service and they were great to deal with. The replacement parts are already headed my way all covered under warranty. Thank you lifetime!!!!

[ We have several of these and we 've had most of them for 8 years. We just added these 2 lime green ones to the family to use in Utah. Our red, yellow and blue ones stay in island park. They have withstood the beatings of hitting rocks going down the Henry's fork river hundreds of times.
When selecting a river kayak, consider factors such as the kayak's length, width, and weight capacity, as these will affect its stability and maneuverability. Additionally, think about the type of water you'll be navigating, as some kayaks are designed for calm rivers while others are suited for more challenging conditions. Comfort features like seating and storage options are also important for a pleasant experience on the water.
River kayaks are typically made from durable materials such as polyethylene, fiberglass, or composite materials. Polyethylene is popular for its toughness and resistance to impact, making it ideal for rocky river environments. Fiberglass and composite kayaks, while often lighter and faster, may require more care to avoid damage in rough conditions.
Choosing the right size river kayak involves considering your height, weight, and paddling experience. A kayak that is too small may feel cramped, while one that is too large can be difficult to control. It's also important to factor in the kayak's intended use, as different sizes may be better suited for leisurely paddling versus more aggressive river conditions.
Sit-in kayaks provide better protection from the elements and are often more efficient for longer paddling trips, as they can help keep you dry. On the other hand, sit-on-top kayaks offer easier entry and exit, making them ideal for warm weather and casual paddling. Your choice will depend on your comfort level and the type of kayaking experience you seek.
While river kayaks are specifically designed for navigating rivers, many can also be used in lakes and calm coastal waters. However, their performance may vary based on design features such as hull shape and stability. If you plan to use your kayak for multiple environments, look for versatile models that can handle different water conditions.
