We bought two EZLite10 kayaks for our villa in Turks & Caicos. We were looking for kayaks that could be enjoyed by the entire family; these were great choices. They are the perfect size (other brands I considered were too long), lightweight, and high quality with full drop-stitch construction and welded seams. You can go as light or as hard as you like on the water. It is also easy to switch out the longer skeg for a shorter one since the salt water cove at our villa is shallow in some spots. They were also easy to transport from the US as checked luggage. We also have two paddle boards, and the EZLite10s are a great complement.
