Ocean Kayak Malibu 2 Tandem Kayak

4 Star Rating

Great for beginners

By Backcountry.com Employee December 8, 2006

We use this kayak on the coast of NC and it has been great for learning the basics of paddling. Whether you enjoy a calm day of fishing in the sound or a choppy ride on the ocean, this kayak can fit the bill. The design is great for 1 or 2 people and is very comfortable for longer trips. It is fairly lightweight, but definitely requires 2 people for transport. I've been amazed at how it performs on rough days in the ocean, but I have to admit I found out the hard way that it's heavy enough to give a concussion when flipped.
