MEMBER TESTED RESULTS   OTHER PRODUCTS Arthur Wade, Glenmont, NY Lifetime Member “The kayak is extremely buoyant and stable in rough water. Its hands-free, pedal-driven maneuverability means more time fishing and less paddling.” Cody Dodds, Hanover, NH Site Member “It sets up easily and is lightweight, making it easy to get from place to place. You can quickly deflate it and stow it in its travel pack.” MEMBER COMMENTS bryan2000 Posted:8/23/2009 Location:riverside, RI Member can enter in to win this can enter in to win this Comments (0) | Top ^ Review Controls: Please login to post a comment.

It is just about time to start the trout fishing season here and that would be the way to go out and catch me some trout since it is hands free I could always have a pole in the water.

I wonder how fast this could go with the sail attachment! Comments (0) | Top ^ Review Controls: Please login to post a comment.

There are lots of small ponds and lakes in Ma and Maine that this would be ideal to use. It has a low profile and appears to setup and breakdown quickly- much faster than the pontoons and most likely easier to control.
