This kayak is for anyone without roof-rack space, garage space, or the desire to wrestle a hard-shell boat. Apartment dwellers, travelers, and spontaneous paddlers will love it. It is a recreational boat for lakes, mild rivers, bays, and estuaries, perfect for an afternoon paddle, not for fishing tournaments or whitewater.
