The kayak has exceeded my expectations and I absolutely love it! The inflating and deflating process is very simple and quick. With the skeg, it tracks perfectly. The center handle makes it so easy to move around. I am a 59-year-old woman and wanted a kayak I could transport and carry by myself. I am not an elite paddler and find the boat to be very stable and easy to get in and out of. The most important thing is the outstanding customer service by Sea Eagle staff. Be sure to download the detailed instructions before you start playing with your boat. When fully inflated, it’s hard to believe this is an inflatable. Great quality and value!
