Title: pretty nice intro to kayaking
Review: Not too shabby, worth the money vs. buying a "real" hard-shell kayak. If you are going to use it 10 times a summer like me up here in Wisconsin, it's got a pretty good ROI. The paddle is pretty cheap, don't overtighten the connectors like I did the first time or they will crack. (fixed with duct tape, works fine)I wouldn't take this through any real rough or shallow stuff where there's sharp objects to rub up against. The vinyl derivative it's made out of is of a much greater quality than your standard $10 inflatable tube but it's still puncturable. It's pretty easy to inflate, with or without a pump. And it stays inflated well. You need to be very careful where you dock & undock, as standard boat launches sometimes have rocks and jagged edges.In terms of performance, it's very well-balanced and maneuverable. It's also easy to push around. I think it's a geometrically sound design. I like mine a lot, and for the money I think it was well worth it.
