I AM ROCKET MAN
My very first kayak. I have never owned any type of water craft. I love this thing. I am mostly in the Thousand Island which is part of the Indian River Lagoon. A few days ago I pedaled into the wind and my rocket did very well. Plan to fish in this area very soon. See my pics on Facebook.

No stopping me now
I love this thing! We put it in the back of the truck and take it camping. The wife and I can go for lake cruises and do a little fishing while we tour the local lakes. I can also take go fishing in the solo configuration and enjoy a nice day on the water. It has been a blast so far.

New to kayak fishing
So far I really like this little boat.Transportation has been a breeze. The kayak is very stable and handles well on the lake. I have yet to try it as a tandem. Both the drives work well with the only draw back being that the central hatch cannot be opened with the seat in place to petal. The lower three clamps do require a learning curve.

Box came with damage to it which made me nervous
Box came with damage to it which made me nervous. Everything inside was just fine. Yak also came within three days of order. Wasn't prepared for that pleasant surprise:) Put together in my living room.

Taken it out 4 times so far and it’s awesome!!!! Even if the latches aren’t SUPER TIGHT
Taken it out 4 times so far and it’s awesome!!!! Even if the latches aren’t SUPER TIGHT, the two pieces are SOLIDLY together! I felt comfortable standing on this thing and these 4 trips are the extent of my experience. Plenty of room for tackle, snacks, anchor (small one recommended in the wind) and whatever else you want on board. Very easy to use and get started on the water!
