[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the kayak paddle to use with my SUP after suffering an injury that made sitting a better choice while recovering. Finding switching a regular paddle side-to-side tedious, I decided to try a kayak paddle. What a great idea! Works great with my legs out straight up against my cooler in front of me and my back up against my SUP paddle seat. Sitting up on the seat is a bit high for the kayak paddle to get a good rhythm for the kayak paddle so I could probably leave my seat off, but it's nice to have a backrest.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initially very cautious about buying an inflatable kayak however we have loved them so much, we bought a third for guests to use. Stellar design, very well thought out features. I timed the time it took from unboxing to water ready, 20min including reading the directions. Holds air for days at a time without losing one PSI. Very stable to go from standing to sitting as you please, even when my 70lb dog is jumping on and off. If you like both paddle boarding and kayaking, you need one. If you have minimal storage at home, this is the kayak/paddle board for you since they pack down into a suitcase. We can fit all 3 into the trunk of a compact car. Only complaint I have is I wish the seat could have more cup to the bottom. I recommend either buying the magnepod drinkware or the cup holder when you buy the kayak. You'll decide you need it after the first voyage.
