Beautifully done! 🤩

What size paddle do you use

I can't get comfortable in a sit inside. Any thoughts for SOTs?

Great video!

Good extra kayak for guests. Does anybody have the owner's manual in pdf? Thanks.

Excellent non sensational summary

Looks like great secondary stability there. Beautiful boat

Thank you

It has a Nice bag/pack to store and carry it in…but what about the seat?

Love the pungo in green

Cool for a evening or after work trip to the fishing hole but i wouldn't do a big trip with it

1 psi floor? So this is comparable to one those super cheapy intex or a pool toy .. What a let down

Our fave right now!!

Is there value in adding an air/ buoyancy bag to a recreational kayak? So you could potentially/hopefully get back in on the water?

This or one of the sea eagles?

Thanks for the great video! I’ve been going back and forth with the Pungo 125 and the Loon 126. Do you happen to know how much faster the Pungo is vs the Loon? I think I’m leaning towards the loon but I keep reading the pungo is faster.

Which model of Norse Kayaks is this please?

Does this come with a pressure gauge on the pump?

Always choose the 12' over the 10' versions. A 10' kayak might seem big in the store, but feels very small in the water. And 12s paddle much better. And don't be shy about sit on top kayaks.

Hey! do you have any opinions on the current designs Solara 100? Just getting into kayaking and I’m looking for a kayak to use mostly on sheltered lakes.

Very helpful. Thanks for breaking down some of the basic features/considerations for a noob like me. Cheers!

Ever see a composite in iv or v whitewater?

It took me 40 years to drop the coin for a new yak. I couldn’t find the perfect yak for me. They all perform and handle so differently. I bought and sold many used yaks over the decades in all the different construction materials. I bought my first new yak 14 months ago and couldn’t be happier. At $6000.00 it was the perfect yak for me ! The P&H Volan 160 in Carbon & Kevlar at 42 lbs. love it !

I recommend the stellar and eddyline boats, I have a eddyline rio that i would keep but selling due to i want to stick to sprint kayaking until i am old and get into something relaxed as sea kayak for cruising.

That Stellar looks stellar ....

Why are they so wide

You are a 😂😂😂

Good choices for beginners. I would add that if you live near big water (Great Lakes and Niagara River for me), beginners soon find that a 10 foot boat without floatation is not what you want. Many of our new paddlers soon upgrade to a 12 foot or longer with sealed flotation front and back to enjoy group outings on bigger water. I recommend the latter as a beginner boat.

Thanks, good choices. I would also add to your list, Eddyline Skylark and Rio, Delta 12AR and 12S, Feelfree Aventura (11.0 and 12.5), Stellar S12, Dagger Stratos 12.5, and Jackson Tupelo (12 and 12.5). Many of your choices (and these others) have slight to moderate increases in cockpit size to make it easy to enter/exit, and also touring kayak features (bulkheads, sealed hatches, deck lines and bungees) and performance (more streamlined shape, ability to edge, etc). Look forward to more of your videos!

Nice, enjoyed this. Very informative.

This is really uinteresting and coo......... what is going on with your weird arms?

Are you going to have these boats in stock in 2024 so people can sit in them? Because every time I check your out of stock.

I tend to think of the sit atop kayak as an informal kayak. Fair weather swimsuits, and cut-offs vs, game faced enthusiasts in more challenging conditions, but increasingly seeing possibilities for those with mobility challenges, elderly, obese, handicapped etc.

Nocqua battery easy peaze.

Great info! And an amazing selection at the store!

Excited for this next season !

Thanks for this! If you were headed out on a long, multi week expedition, what repair or maintenance items would you bring with you for your drysuit?

Thanks, nice summary and information. You used Delta to show the flex in a thermoformed product, but I can tell you first hand that the Carbonlite 2000 material that Eddyline uses is considerably more stiff than the Deltas are (I own both brands). I do hope the composites get more affordable, but right now they may not be within budget for most (and neither are the thermoformed kayaks for that matter). And, there is also availability, many of us have to travel several states away to even test paddle one of these because there aren’t a large number of composite manufacturers in North America. Nice summary though, hope others can chime in here. I watched your video because I have very little experience with the composite boats.

Thanks for the great tips for winter paddling. Looking forward to get out pretty soon.

I like the music you put onto this ad

I would argue that many folks who own Rec kayaks have never tried a touring kayak, and after their first test paddle of one, they will likely never go back - for serious paddlers, Rec. boats are supposed to be a starting point, not an end, especially if they have some basic instruction and are properly fitted. That’s been my experience - the extra glide and better tracking gets people addicted. Once folks feel the difference in a touring boat, it will persuade many paddlers to find the room and the extra money for a longer, faster and safer boat. I am glad to see that there are some more kayak models available now, that are sort of hybrids, with characteristics of both, in hopes that some will upgrade to touring boats eventually.

It looks nice but no any reference in dimensions...
