I am a beginner and I am absolutely in love with this sport. These are the best for me. I also drag my family out with me and they too like these... they are stable, easy to get on and off... and glide very nicely through the water. Just an overall GREAT purchase...

Most of the other reviewers were right on target with their reviews of this yak. I have other kayaks and was looking for an inexpensive one to get less experienced members of my family out on the water. The kayak is much more stable than my sit-in yaks. When you first take to the water if you try to lean right and left you will easily feel that there is very little chance of it tipping. My wife went out in a 15-20 mph wind and although the wind made her drift it didn't make her nervous as to possibly tipping. It would certainly be better if it came with a handle in the back as it has in the front. It came with an adjustable backrest which is very comfortable and lightweight break-down paddle. It also comes with one foam plug. However, there are five holes through the hull and unless you want to sit in a puddle of water you'll need to buy plugs for the other four holes. I made plugs out of wine corks and this worked fine. Overall a nice beginner kayak that you are not going to win any speed races in, but, if you're just looking to get someone in the family out in fairly calm waters, then you can't beat it.

Customer service is worse than terrible. My issue is YET to be solved with receiving damaged goods. I Buy elsewhere!!!!

Bought these for the hubs n I- we rent kayaks a lot- so these have already paid for themselves because we have taken them out so many times in the past few weeks. Also they r not too big for our smaller size truck so easy to tote around town

Happy with our purchase, very sturdy and well made. The smaller length also allows you to usually transport the kayaks inside your vehicle, which was important to us. We love our new kayaks!

I looked everywhere for a replacement part for my kayak. Called Alfonso from customer support parts department and he took care of me in less than 3 minutes. Thanks so much.

The backrest are pretty cheap. The plastics is rather thin. For this price i was expecting a stronger plastic. The kayak is not bad on the water, work as expected but for how long? I hope the backrest are stronger than they look.

Very stable kayak. My 11 yr old and her friends love them. We had 1 missing part on our order. I contacted Lifetime and they resolved the issue immediately.

We love our new kayaks! We can load and unload them easily on our rooftop rack and are in the water in minutes. They track pretty well, too. We would definitely recommend these kayaks for use on lakes and ponds.

I bought a month ago and taken it out 5 or 6 times . Love it! We added extra handles to make easier to carry and a padded seat for comfort. Perfect for one person to handle.
