Great boat for the money
I found that this boat did well with me, 220 lb, and my 60 lb dog. Paddling at a gentle Pace. We went three plus miles per hour, four plus miles per hour at a moderate pace, and five plus miles per hour at a heavy pace. I only aired up each chamber to about 8 psi because at this this pressure the boats seem perfectly rigid. The seats didn't offer any back support, but at this price point they are comfy enough. Much better than the inflatable ones. I tied the boat on the roof of the vehicle to get it to the lake, deflated on the way back. If I sit with my knees off the edge of the boat and my feet in the water, the boat is still stable. The boat hooks in to one side or another. Sometimes when you are going fast. This behaves like a lot of pirogues, flat bottom canoes, that I've used in the past. I did not use the big skeg. Sometimes with these sort of hulls you have to paddle a few times on one side or the other to even out the direction and keep straight. I'm surprised that this boat mimics a traditional boat. I guess that's a testament to how stiff it is.

The kayak is very nice accessories, not so much
As far as the kayak goes, I don't think you'll be disappointed. It is pretty heavy for one person to log. Around, so I don't know how portable it is. It's not impossible, but it's not super easy quality of the kayak is very nice. It looks structurally built. Well, I've taken it out only one time, but I was thoroughly happy. It tracks very well. I did after reading other reviews purchased a high quality seat before I went and I went ahead and tried the other one, because you could put 2 seats in and the other 1 is not worth even taking with you. It is not very good. The paddles aren't as bad as a lot of people describe them, even though I have other paddles, I brought, but I tried them, they're not that bad. They can be a lot worse, but the kayaks, great get new seats, and I think you'll be happy. Pump's up really stiff it tracks. Well, um, it's just, it's a nice kayak

The boat is great, features not so great.
The boat is great! I have been wanting an inflatable kayak that is just as rigid as the inflatable paddle boards. Note though that the boat is great, the features (seats, paddles) are terrible. It will be easy to update those.The seats come with a cushion that will elevate you up and it makes the boat super shakey. We removed the cushions and that fixed that issue. The seats themselves terrible, they supper maybe … maybe! An inch of your bum.I’ve got better paddles and better seats and it works great. I’m happy with the boat. But know if you’re buying, you’ll need to update the other equipment and you’re buying this for the boat.

Ok for light duty
For an inflatable, the build quality of the boat is good. As other said, seats are worthless, due to back support as flimsy as a paper towel. The boat is a bit wobbly, but we found it manageable staying near the shore on calm lake. Any choppiness or wind makes is exponentially challenging. It tracks pretty good, so that’s a plus. Overall, it’s ok for light duty and water fun for two smaller adults or kids. I ported it on wheels for 1/4 mile to the lake, and it felt a bit heavy at times. I returned it. Note, I was charged $55 return fee, when I thought it was free returns. I’m looking now at the Aqua Marina Halve because it’s super lightweight with TPU materials.

Verdict still out but poor manufacturer support -UPDATED
This is an initial review as we have only inflated it inside and have not taken out on the water yet. But I wanted to write this review to let people be aware of a potential issue that may affect this kayak. Instructions on the set up of the kayak was very minimal and we had to rely on videos of other similar drop stitch kayaks. Most importantly, the instructions on the hand pump was inadequate. Our first multiple attempts with the use of the hand pump even though I made sure the hose was attached correctly on the pump and on the kayak was that after reaching around 5 psi, air was leaking out of the top of the pump by the dial and at the handles. There was an extra washer included in the pump package but no instructions as to what to do with the washer. The only instructions on the pump was to lubricate it inside well with oil. And the only place inside that was accessible was the pylon that went up and down as you pump. Having the difficulty with air escaping the pump, I reached out to the manufacturer for clearer instructions on the operation of the pump and use of the extra washer provided and I have had no responses from them. Also on their website that was provided in the instruction sheet, when you click on "Contact Us" there is no contact information given. I email them through an email that was also provided on the kayak's instruction sheet. This is a concern especially if they state there is a 2 year warranty on the kayak. I am not sure how good their warranty is when they can't even answer a question about their pump. I will update my review as I test it on the water and if I hear back from their customer support.Update: Still haven't heard from the manufacture. However, took the kayak out in the water and it performed beautifully. It kept up with the hardshell kayak in our kayak group. Hint about the pump: where the hose attach to the pump is a bit difficult to get correctly attached. If the air starts to leak out of the pump at around 5 psi, you will need to reattach the hose to the pump and try again. I did not need to use the extra washer that was included for the pump to work. Attach the skeg on land with the kayak on the side before putting it out on the water. Fingers crossed that I will not need any customer support or warranty support.

first impression
The Boat came with an extra washer on the pump. It took me about 15 minutes to figure out to remove the extra washer. the design is spot on beautiful. Still trying to figure out the seats. Paddles are good and light , they are NOT carbon fiber but after use i am very happy. The pump was a little hard to use but worked ok.I can tell i will be adding a few of my own things to this as time goes on . #1 will be upgrading to metal frame seats with a booster.It took me roughly 4 minutes to deflate and put in the bag. ** BE SURE TO USE THE STRAP**
