Review Detail

It's my first kayak so I cannot compare it to anything else. I've been fishing Caribbean using it for more than a year now. It is almost always windy here and 10-15 knots trade winds and pretty choppy sea are usual conditions. I didn't buy it with rudder pre-installed so I added it later when I started to feel the need for it. After that it became even more comfortable.

The only things I don't like about that kayak are front hatch and rod-pod lids. They have lost their original shapes pretty quickly thanks to tropical heat/sun and water from wave splashes started to get inside the hull. Not much though. I heard that newer rod-pods come with much better lid and it can also be installed on older kayak so the only unsolved problem is front lid.

It is very good kayak for novice like myself and I'd buy it again.
