Purchased this for a trip to Colorado and was an excellent purchase. It packs down very small and with a power inflator, this is a perfect setup for us. I've used it many times now and is very easy to setup and light enough for one person to handle. My wife and 2 Labrador Retrievers (60lbs each) were able to easily fit comfortably in the kayak. The adjustable seats were very comfortable and I like that the inner floor liner is inflated and elevated above the floor of the kayak so that you're not sitting in water. Of course you get wet when a wet 60lb lab jumps in and out of the kayak soaking wet :). With that, I was able to easily pull our labs into the kayak using their life jackets and no sense of tipping whatsoever. It is a very stable kayak. I stood up and did some paddling and it was very stable.The pump that comes with it does a great job, but the powered AIRBANK Paddle Board Pump Electric 20PSI The Puffer Pro, Portable SUP Pump works amazing. Easy to use, battery powered and with the easy PSI setting capability, you can easily set 3lbs for the sides and 6lbs for the floor. Then when you're done, you switch to deflate and it pulls all the air out very fast. HIGHLY recommend that pump. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSBVLZLN?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I've had the kayak in the waters off Kona three times now and I have to say it is wonderful. Handles well in both 3' rollers and flat water. Turns on a dime, it's a breeze to both move the prow and keep a straight line with regular side changes while paddling. I've scraped a rock or two with out any damage, the seats are comfortable and adjustable, and inflating is a five minute pumping job.Stable enough to easily re-enter after snorkeling or diving, light enough to be carried by a single person of moderate upper body strength, and easy to store all in all I love the kayak itself. It has enough room for two, with a snorkel bag or one with dive gear. I am a little worried about the longevity of the valves as the springs in them seem a bit cheap but we'll see how it goes.But the associated items are, often, of poor quality. The pump is cheaply built, important parts (like the PSI gauge) are easy to lose, and, in fact, said PSI gauge shipped to me broken in the box. The needle was on the negative side of the zero peg making it impossible for the needle to rise with pressure. I've been using the feel test as I inflate it.And, for all that folk will tell you that everything will fit in the bag that's only true if you pack it carefully. Furthermore one zipper on the bag broke the first time I used it and the second one broke the second time I used it. Given how important the pump is, and how nice the bag could be, I'm surprised to see so little thought and engineering put into these two components of the package.However, I contacted Driftsun and they say they have shipped me a replacement pressure gauge so give them credit for good customer service. And, as I say, I love the kayak itself. I'd give it five stars but for the associated components.
