Necky Manitou II Tandem Kayak
Good Beginner kayak

I bought this as a beginner, for my wife and I. It has been good in calm waters, but it has problems tracking at higher paddling speeds. The bottom of the kayak indents when both her and I are in it, and I think that affects its fluid dynamics a lot. i also got it without a rudder, and I am going to put one on because it is hard to steer compared to other kayaks. I weigh 180 and she is 150 and it seems maxed out with our weight...it flexes a little too much...i would not recommend this. The harder kayaks seem more stable.
