I really like that I have options to choose from a sit in to sit on top. Transitioning between the two was really easy and I could do by myself.
It handled really well in the water better than my other sit on top kayaks. It balances really nicely so if you’re not sure of your skills you will be comfortable giving kayaking a try on this.
It did take 2 of us to move it. I’m sure a taller stronger person would have no trouble.
I am 5’4” and used the foot rest at the very top, so there is definitely plenty of room for a taller person. But it also was a nice fit for me.
The sit in top does have a lip so you could put a skirt on it, but I wouldn’t as there’s is nothing on the side connection that would stop water from coming in like a rubber seal.
For the small details it has a curve in the top side and strap for your paddle holder. A small cubby you could put your phone and stuff in with easy access and it’s not on the floor. There is a lay down cup holder, which held my drink but I didn’t like as my bottle got wet. And sometimes I have a drink that the lid is open so I would have nowhere to put it.
All together though this is a great option if you want the best of both worlds. I plan on taking this instead of my other kayaks so I can transition and enjoy the best of both!
