So this boat rocks pretty much. It's the CADILLAC of kayaks. I found it to really track well in the water, but it does feel a little squirrelly when there's an undercurrent. It was almost hard to keep it going in a straight line at times. Stronger paddlers definitely. I like the rudder but it doesn't help noticeably unless you're in a really rough situation. The material that it's made out of is nice and shiny but seems like it could break easily.
