Just two important takeaways from my experience with Sea Eagle so far. 1) the boat is everything they say it is: well constructed, easy to assemble/inflate, and great fun on the water. If you do not want the hassle of roof racking and storing a hard kayak, this is a terrific option. 2) Maybe as important, the company is very responsive and works quickly to help. In my sitiuation, I ordered the swivel seat, which somehow arrived damaged, most likely in shipping. All I had to do was send a picture of the damage, as well as the order form from Sea Eagle. I sent the information on a Friday and I received a replacement seat on the following Tuesday. Next year I'm in the market for a SUP, and Sea Eagle will be my first look.
