Light and fast

By Backcountry.com Employee October 3, 2006

I don't know much about kayaks but I paddled this around some finger canyons in Lake Powell - what a blast. It's amazingly light for dealing with loading on roof racks, etc. Put it in the water and it's expectedly unstable side-to-side but man it's fast. Just an easy paddle and you are just cruising. Really fun to use...kinda like a road bike on the water. Fast fast fast.
