Old thread got closed- took it out today. I prob dont paddle efficiently yet but its slow as fuck and almost imposssible to tip over. Took me around 2 hours to do the perimeter of a 46 acre small lake. Easy to fish from, didnt try standing cause water was cold. Very cool in calm water- cant wait to try some moving water. I already wish i got a longer/narrow/lighter kayak but any longer would be more hassle to store/transport. Overall satisfied but i wont be going anywhere far or fast.
