This kayak is so comfortable to sit in. I can’t sit in it for hours. It’s the best kayak seat I’ve ever sat in. I love the color and get lots of compliments on it. It’s really been a fun summer using it. The conjoint compartments are handy with the cup holders and holds phone. I use a soft cooler for my drinks and fit great behind the seat. The dry storage is great too every thing stays dry. I ride on the river and IIt tacks great in the water, very stable and easy to get in and out of. It’s lightweight to transport. Definitely recommend it for quality comfort suability and tracking.

Fabulous kayak! A 12’ with plenty of storage and stability. We love it! My husband is a big guy (5’10”, 280 lbs) and he fits in it comfortably. We use it on rivers and lakes nearby and it’s smooth as silk in the water, and surprisingly not too heavy.

Just got my boat today and took it out for several hours. Tracks well, paddles easily and much faster than my wide sit on top fishing kayak that paddles like a tank (it has its place tho). Joyride is stable, and you can lean to do edging turns without feeling tippy. The seat and thigh pads are very comfortable, and the bulkhead kept the rear storage completely dry. The dashboard is handy to keep small things and drinks nearby. I am 5' 4" 150lbs and the 12 foot boat is not too long or heavy for me to paddle or lift. I'm sure it will give me years of fun!

I bought this kayak from Amazon warehouse, it was discounted about $300 because of minor cosmetic damage. It did have a couple minor scratches on the top, other than that it arrived by truck in great condition. (You gotta love prime free shipping, Pennsylvania to Oregon by truck-free!) It’s a great all around kayak. It paddles straight and easily, and is very stable. The built in cellphone holder and water bottle holder is great. But the best thing about this kayak is that it’s comfortable! I’m 56 years old and I’ve had several kayaks over the years and my biggest complaint was always seat comfort. It’s hard to enjoy paddling when the seat is causing pain. My first time out in this kayak I was out for 2 hours And found the seat quite comfortable. There is also well placed padding on the inside right where your knees rest which is awesome. The rear waterproof storage compartment is great as well. It only weighs about 50 pounds, so I’m able to pick up one end of it, lean it against the back of my truck canopy and Easily push it up onto the kayak rack. I’m loving this kayak so far!😊
