[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used my Oru Inlet 6 times on calm protected ponds in Boise, ID and on a lake with choppy water from boats and wind and it has worked great! This is easy to get in and out of at the shore in about a foot of water! It is stable and doesn’t feel like I am going to tip over. The seat is comfortable! I used it for 3 hours and my butt did not hurt. This Kayak is a great conversation starter people want to ask me about it, and I like that. The paddle and backpack that were included in my order are great. The Kayak is easy to carry when it’s in backpack form, I have carried it twice to get to my kayaking spot walking about a quarter mile for about 6 minutes, it worked well. I did try portaging about a quarter mile between ponds and that was hard and I needed to stop and rest where I set my Kayak down. It probably would have been better to fold it up and then walk with it for that distance. The shoulder strap is amazing for carrying the full boat for short distances. I have found it is easy to set up and fold down. I am able wipe it down with a couple small micro fiber towels as I fold it down to get off any pond muck or much from the grass or shore. I bought a portable sprayer from Beach Box to be able to rinse it off at the shore. I am excited to continue to explore Kayaking opportunities around Idaho!
