 Satisfied for a first time user Apr 06, 2008
Used this today after receiving it on Thursday. The delivery was great, but then the air pump has not arrive yet, so I got one from Walmart for the time being so that I can use the kayak.
Overall it met my expectation, since this was my first time ever trying it out with my 4 years old son. He enjoyed it greatly.
The only issue we had was that one of the paddle broke when I paddle against the strong wind, so that was no good. But then I knew this before I bought the kayak. A couple of reviews had already warned about the bad paddles.
So I intend to get a good replacement.
Overall, GREAT for beginner. Oh yes, I have a recommendation - do a few weeks of dum bells exercise for your arms before you get into it. Otherwise you will feel it the first day after you have tried the kayak.

 Great buy for the money Apr 01, 2008
Wow! we were very skeptical about this one figuring it to be a toy but it really is a great buy for the money. So much so that we have two and our friends purchased one. I wouldn't exactly go white water kayaking with it but for urban lakes & streams these are a lot of fun. You probably need to be careful around things that could puncture it and your still going to get a little wet if you weigh more than 200. We got the cordless pump and inflated two of these and deflated them with enough battery reserve to probably do it again. Doesn't fold back up well to fit in the box but I roll it up and put it in a Kitchen size trash bag. Looking forward to taking it to the beach this summer and a couple of other larger lakes. The netted cargo can hold a small drybag for your stuff you don't want wet and the other big enough to hold a small six pack ice chest. The paddles are a little cheasy but they work and go together fairly simple. Hey a couple of hundred dollars for a family of four to enjoy several half day to day long outdoor outings is well worth it.
surprising for blow up Feb 25, 2008
Good for the money. Very stable. The paddles are better than I expected from the other reviews. They are light. Good support when sitting. Blows up fast with the pump Coleman sells. I'd hate to blow this thing up with a hand pump.

A great deal for a lot of FUN! Jan 07, 2008
My husband and I both dive and enjoy living in Hawaii for that reason as well as the other aquatic activities.We have wanted to get into kayaking for a while but due to limited storage and the lack of an SUV like vechicle we have put it off. Them I thought of te inflatables. They don't handle as well as rigid kayaks but are wider and more stable (although a stiff wind turns it into a sail. Best advise is to stay at winds of under 18 knots/ 2o mph )and can't really be used in anything but calm to a little bit of wave activity which is a drawback if you really want to ocean kayak but this has been the best 100 dollars we ever spent! for bays such as Kaneohe bay and calm bodies of water as in a protected reef or stream/quiet river this kayak is awesome.It is such fun! I would advise getting better paddles and the rechargeable pump. Its is comfortable, tough and can be folded and carried in a trunk or backseat and inflates in minutes( 5). the back and armrests are comfortable as is the legroom and ride. Both of us are tall and the kayak is rated to carry up to 600 lbs. We aren't close to that but it is important if you carry gear along as well as the very shallow draft allows you to launch in a foot of water or so. We love it and go kayaking whenever possible now.This has got me hooked and I just can't say enough good things about it! We love it!

Great for beginners! Oct 19, 2007
A good way to get started. Very durable, easy to use, and portable. No roof rack needed here! All that said, we have used it a dozen or so times and are ready for a hard kayak. It is getting cooler and you really cannot help but get wet when using this one. Great for warm weather though!
