As stated in earlier reviews, you are really wedged in and the carry handles can be uncomfortable on your thighs. But it is a joy to paddle. The tight fit means the entire boat responds to your every body movement. I returned my first one because the footrest was missing. Hoping to avoid having to return I reached out to the manufacturer for the missing piece. They said not to return and they would send the footrest but never did - so I returned and ordered another. It just arrived and I haven't had a chance to unpack and verify the footrest is included. Hopefully it is. The heavy fabric construction with internal inflation bladders is excellent.

The media could not be loaded. Live in a small space and wanted my own kayak but didn't have the space. Stored it on my patio, but didn't realize that the backpack is not waterproof. A bit of mold got on the kayak and bag. 1st attempt to use kayak, I blew it up in my place, but couldn't get it in the elevator or down the steps. Gave up on kayaking that day.
The 2nd attempt was to take it deflated and blow it up at site. Even though the pump is good, I purchased a small hand held electric pump. I used the pump, SO topped off with the manual pump. Almost forgot to pump the bottom compartment. It took about 20 mins from unpacking to putting it in the water. No issues getting in or out. Very sturdy and a lot of room. I kayak in very calm waters so don't know how it would perform in rapids. Easy to have one person paddle. Deflate was super quick and easy. After use, we put the kayak on the balcony to hose it off and let dry in all the creases. Didn't want to put it in the bag wet because of fear of mold. Noticed a small scratch on the bottom from a very low section in the water, but no damage. The seats took a full 24 hours to dry. I wouldn't wash the seats in the future unless needed. Now when my guests visit, we don't have to pay $40 per hr to rent a kayak, can go when and where I want to go, and can easily transport in my hatchback or in the back seat of my compact car.

Update: I had a chance to go out 2 more times since the last post. One in the bay with more active current. It poured for about 5 mins. I was able to hop out and hop back in to swim with no issues. I deflated it when I was finish when it was still wet. I highly recommend NOT doing this because it smelled horrible when I went to use it 6 days later. The 2nd time, I let it dry inflated. I put it on top of my very small SUV and let it dry on my car inflated. Then I deflated in put it away and it was much better. 2.5 person kayak is a little too long to transport on top of my car for a long distance, but I was only driving a couple of miles. Husband doesn't like the seat. He is 5"11 and says he needs a higher back. For me, 5"5, it is perfect. Overall, performance is fantastic. I really want the Rover 120 so I can take out solo or have our daughter come out, but need a good sale to justify another purchase.

I've had this kayak for a little over a year now and I enjoy using it. Its not too hard to inflate and is fairly lightweight. Up to this point, I have not had any problems with this kayak.

I got a two person kyak because of the high weight capacity. The two adults total about 450 pounds. Dog weighs 30 pounds. I was worried about fitting with my size 14W butt. But we fit fine and put the dog both in front or in the middle and she did fine. It easily moved through the water. It is easy to carry inflated with two people. It deflates easily and folds up into the carrying pack (sort of like a backpack) that comes with it. It felt stable and not too tippy. We managed the oncoming boats' wakes fine. Overall a very happy purchase.

Kayak was fun until the fabric ripped and it became useless. I emailed Driftsun twice with no response. I emailed Marketfleet and got a swift response saying they would take care of it. A week later when I hadn't heard back, I emailed them (Marketfleet) again and did not hear back; very disappointing customer service. I now have a useless kayak with no resolution.

update, Marketfleet asked for a photo of my ripped kayak and replaced it with no hassle.
