>>1361980I've had the 10' version of the kayak in your picture for about 5 years now. It paddles all right and it's pretty durable. I also got the "backbone" thingy they sell, which really does help with tracking and rigidity. I can tow it on a bike trailer or take it on the bus if I want to. Inflation and deflation is pretty quick, except that people keep asking me questions about it.
That said, a rigid boat is better unless you have a reason why you need something that packs up small.
