[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The one sentence review for the Tide kayak is that it is awesome! There were a few things I didn't like but the overall design, appearance and performance of this kayak hit the mark. First, here is what isn't working so well for me with this kayak? I feel like the hatch cover is too small for the size of this kayak. At a diameter of 7” or 8” you won't be fitting any bulky gear in through the hatch. Another thing I don't like, is that the dark blue interior color wasn't fully covered by the exterior yellow and green coats in an obvious spot on the front of the kayak. Finally, I don't like that the paddle keeper clip on the side of the kayak is recessed which can make it difficult to push the bungee cord down onto the clip and secure the paddle. Now on to what I like about this kayak. This kayak just looks really good in my opinion. The unique yellow and green color combination clearly stands out. Plus, the design of this kayak means it is really stable and I never felt like I was going to tip over. The skeg wheel is awesome and makes it easier to roll the kayak around on smooth surfaces. Plus the skeg wheel assembly actually creates a small fin on the rear of the kayak which also improves tracking on the water too. The seat and cockpit are generously padded which will make longer trips a lot more comfortable. I also really like that the foot braces can be adjusted and fine tuned in the middle of the lake with their long handles that you can easily reach while sitting in the kayak. Overall, despite the things that I didn't like this kayak has proven it is a blast to use on the water. It gets you where you want to go quickly and efficiently. I also like that this kayak proved to be very flexible with its adjustable seat and foot pegs to accommodate different sizes of paddlers. Plus, at 48 lbs it isn't so heavy that you are breaking your back getting it to and from the lake. The Emotion Tide Kayak is a blast on the water. I have several other kayaks as well as a couple paddle boards and this kayak has quickly become my favorite to take out on the lake!

Very happy with kayaks. Haven't use them yet but they sure look great and are exactly what I wanted

I have now bought 2 kayaks after their wonderful customer service response to small issues with my first kayak was missing a small strap buckle.

Very happyI've had this kayak for seven years it's been a blessing

I bought them for my wife and I. We have many trips planned

My daughter loves these. She said the roller reallyhelps.

The replaced m damaged skeg and roller with no hassle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great Kayak and it is the perfect size. I was worried that it wouldn't fit on the top of my vehicle because it is a smaller SUV but it fits perfect. It is very the perfect size for my kids to be able to paddle around as well. I have been involved with water sports for most of my life and this kayak definitely has a lot of features that make it worth the money. I used this along side an inflatable kayak and this one is hands down much better in the water. Tracks very nice and is easy to move around on the water. This is also my first sit inside kayak and I was't quite sure how I was going to like it but it has been great so far. Another great feature are the carry handles that really make it easy to transport. It was very easy to get on and off my vehicle which I was worried about as well because the majority of the time I will be doing this myself but because of the light weight this was not a problem. The seat is very comfortable and provides a lot of support for my back which is great because I do use this on extended trips and the support is perfect. The seat was still very comfortable with a life jacket on as well.

Promptly sent parts

Very happy with these!
