There are mixed reviews online on this kayak. I was a little skeptical. Overall this is a great kayak. It inflates very quickly. The side paddle holders are a nice touch. It dries out very quickly. Kayak tracks well and paddles easy. I find it more like a canoe rather than a kayak. The paddles included are not great, kinda short, however they are usable. I am using kayak paddles I already owned since they are longer. It does not come with a carry bag, this is bit inconvenient. For the time being, I am using an old hockey bag. It works.
