 Fun beginner kayak August 12, 2008
guinevere2000 (Kansas City, MO)
I bought this IK instead of a hardshell because it is easier to transport, I don't have to buy an extra roof rack, and I can take it on a plane if I want. I wanted an Advanced Frame, but I couldn't pass this one up because of the price (almost 50% less)! It's not perfect, but I think I got a very good deal for the money. I've taken this out on the lake already, but no rivers.
Pros:
- Looks good;
- Very stable and sturdy;
- Affordable;
- Comfortable seat;
- The cargo hatch in the back is a nice feature;
- Tracking and speed are ok;
- Stays pretty dry inside;
- Easy, quick set-up and inflation (about 5-10 minutes).
Cons:
- Leg & foot room is pretty tight;
- Storage bag is a little cumbersome (but it's a big boat!)
- A hardshell or pricier IK would probably track better & be quicker;
- Fishing from this boat would probably be awkward;
- Would like more storage space;
- Foot pump is not included (contrary to what Amazon listing indicates).
All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase...I'm even planning to buy another one so I can take a friend with me!
