[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very stable. Easy to assemble and pack away once you've done it a few times. Boat tracks well and is quite fast on the water. Impresses!

My wife and I love to be on the water together and the Oru Haven has made it easy. I am a big guy @ 6’8” and 250 lbs. The listed height max for the Haven is 6’6”. I can tell you that I have no problem entering/exiting/paddling. The Haven tracks well in flat conditions and does surprising well when the wind is up. I sit in the aft seat and my 5’8” and 125lbs. wife sits forward. My size 16 feet rest just aft of the forward seat but are forward of the spreader bar at mid-ship..I don’t need to bend my knees at all. The kayak is waterproof in flat water. Because the Haven has such a large open cockpit, we get water into the boat from paddle drip, rain and waves coming on the beam. We are working on a simple ‘rain fly’ idea (we are OCD about a wet boat). But, even the water that comes in from drips and rain isn’t an issue. The water stays under the orange floor boards so it doesn’t create any wet-butt issues while we are paddling. Folding and unfolding the hull is easy. The Oru video is helpful. But, they edited out the most critical element of how the boat goes together in the final fold. Fortunately, it only took us a few extra minutes to figure it out in our living room and now it is easy. Storage inside the hull is adequate. I appreciate how easy it is to carry a 40 lbs. tandem kayak over my shoulder in box mode In summary: we don’t think there is a more elegant way to minimize space needs and maximize on-the-water fun.
