My wife and I bought this for occasional use on our yearly trip to the mountains. We wanted a tandem kayak and looked online for a used kayak. We are not professional kayakers so we weren't looking for an ultra performance kayak. A lot of the used kayaks online were in horrible condition. The new ones (brand names) were well over $1000. So we found this kayak out our local sporting goods store. We've had this for 3 years now and everything works as brand new. The kayak is 10ft long so it's one of the shorter tandem kayaks, which is a perk for us. We bought seat pads and the stock seat backs work well. As mentioned this isn't the most performance kayak out there, buts it's doesn't cost as a performance one does. For occasional trips to the lakes for fun relaxing floating around the water that doesn't brake the bank...This is the perfect kayak.

We love our kayak! Wonderful purchase for our family!

I took this out with my girlfriend to a family reunion at a reservoir we go to every year. This kayak was the talk of the reunion. Everyone said how it wasn't too heavy and the seats were comfy and easy to use.

this is our family first time having kayaks very impressed with them so far. the down side is the paddle is flat i find that a curved paddle works much better.

I bought one of these a couple of years ago and after the second season the hull wore out and now the entire dry storage area fills with water every time I use it. Not sure I would purchase another Lifetime Product.

Super excited to get this kayak. Easily held to adults combined weight of 450 pounds. Only problem is the paddles are too short and drain a lot of water into the vessel during paddling.

We bought this for a youth camp and tried it out as soon as we got back to camp!! Everyone wanted to take it out and paddle on the lake. It is sturdy enough for larger people yet easily powered younger, less experienced kayakers.

Well built, super comfy

Has been a nice kayak this far, but wish the clips and other gear that attach the seat to the boat were more sturdy.

Great value for a tandem kayak. Seat and clips are not the best. Found replacements on line. Look forward to a great Summer. Very stable.
