The EZLite10 is a perfect little kayak. Despite being short, it tracks surprisingly well. I am more accustomed to 17 foot Greenland type kayaks and did not have high expectations in terms of speed or tracking. In both regards I was pleased plus the boat is fun to paddle. I don't particularly care for the high-back seat and would prefer a lower back-band option... one that sits below my PFD. Of course, you can adjust the seat to accommodate the PFD. The boat is extremely well made and also attractive. The biggest surprise for me was the fact that I can still use my Greenland paddle quite effectively.
