The premise of a portable craft that is easy for apartment dwellers to store and move the craft to the water is good. Delivery of the product was as advertised and set up was easy. However I struggled with folding it up to put it back into the bag. I watched several videos to learn the proper technique. Paddling the craft with and without the skeg is a breeze. I found the deluxe seat that shipped was incredibly uncomfortable and useless. I replaced the seat with a cushion and separate back brace. Comfort and ease of paddling the craft improved greatly. With the updated seating setup, I was able to paddle for over 1 hour without feeling any discomfort in my back and legs. With the original seat, I was in pain in my lower back within 15 minutes of launching. I still recommend the kayak because of its portability but withhold any approval for the deluxe seat that is shipped with it. I use an electric pump to fill the chambers and finish with the hand pump. It takes me about 15 minutes to setup.
