Second kayak to arrive with damage. I understand the kayak is large but it shouldn’t be difficult to ship something without damaging it. Regret my purchase.

The Tribe is a well made, quality kayak. It tracks very well, is fairly maneuverable, and has tons of space for dry bags and gear. The fixed foot rests (like all fixed foot rests it seems) are not perfectly comfortable to me. It might just take some time to get used to. The back rest is a bit too high with no support for the lower back. I might add a webbing strap or switch out the seat. Overall I am pleased with it, as I needed to add a sit on top to my collection for the days when the knees are not too good.

Perfect size for me and the dog! Stable as hell, great stability on the lake. She's a little heavy but what can you expect for an 11.5? Love it.

Regrets....the kayak arrived damaged. It had a horizontal crack on the inside of the hull. We did not accept delivery and the drivers are returning it.We liked the kayak, but not damaged.What is the turn around to replace it?Your drivers were awesome and very understanding.

I absolutely love this kayak! I purchased this for the purpose of going on short sea voyages and it does a fantastic job. It's got great maneuverability and great stability which is very helpful when it comes to ocean chop. This is also a great kayak for beginners. Highly recommend!

Great boat! Tracks well, stable, and super comfortable. Very, very had to find this specific boat. Amazon made a mess of the delivery; missed delivery dates, said it was delivered weeks before it actually was, and essential lost the boat in transit. That said, it did arrive in perfect condition. Additionally, you don't need scupper plugs to enjoy this Kayak as some have indicated.

Tribe 11.5 is the perfect boat for a larger paddler! I'm 5'11 and large in the seat. This boat is so comfortable!!! I can fully stretch out in the boat and not have my legs get cramped up. The seat is framed and very comfortable on the back. It's wide enough for me not to feel cramped. It moves really nice in the water - really nice. This is my first kayak and I'm thrilled at how stable it feels and how easy it is to move through the water. I haven't had it on rough water yet - but so far I'm very pleased.
