I really like this kayak and recommend it for families, fisherman, and water fun.
Pros: somewhat lightweight, about 48 lbs, storage on board for keys, wallet, lunch and cooler, good handles for picking up (one in each end if someone helps), good looking overall
Cons: foot stops a bit too short for me even at the furthest setting, however I am 6'3" so I know this is something that won't affect most people, the seat straps a bit weak, one of mine broke out of the plastic today, seat lacks much cushion, a long trip will require bolstering your padding, stickers are pretty lame, they scratch right off. No tail rudder to help tracking (the Ocean Kayak that the tour guide had and the rentals they used have the rudder and helps with tracking).
Overall I'm pleased with it and use it alot. I would recommend if u are starting out in the kayaking sport.
Only downside is that having no side handle it's near impossible for one person to carry it. Easily fixed to add a carry handle or just use a small cart. Well also that at just under 6' tall I had the foot rests extended full out. Taller paddler might have a problem with that. It may be possible to move the whole assembly further out, I don't know.
After only one trip out in it for one hour of paddling it appears to be very durable and well made. My guess is that it is faster and better tracking than the 10' version.
Also the seat is very minimal and simple yet is surprisingly comfortable. Seat back is adjustable. My butt stayed dry after one hour of paddling on a
lake.
It can also be used for fishing since it has two rod holders, but I gave up fishing for beer drinking.
