By Ranked #471 - Kayaks July 3, 2009

I'm 6'5" 265 lbs and other Kayaks just aren't comfortable. I demo'd a few before I purchased, and the store that I bought from only had the (I guess its the angler model of the native 12) in blue. I didn't care to get the (angler model) at the time of purchase, I figured just more features for me to break/have to maintain, but I did want a blue native 12, and the (angler model) was all they had in that color, so I said screw it and made the purchse.

I'm glad I did,,, the keel that pops down in the back surprised me by making a big difference in keeping the kayak straight. This is especially handy when I take off my shirt, and recline the chair back to doze off as I float along the river. The other reviews are spot on when it comes to stability and exceptional comfort of this craft.
