nice little boat

About myself


Intermediate kayaker, self taught

About the test environment


Flaming Gorge is a huge (90 miles long) reservoir in NE Utah/SE Wyoming (and quite stunning scenery) formed by damming the Green River. Very popular rec area can be quite choppy with many boats, but the coves are calm and numerous.

Review


I paddled the Atlantis for a few days in and around the coves in Flaming Gorge. Used it with and without the rudder. I would say the rudder is only needed when there is a crosswind or current to deal with...then it is very useful. Otherwise, the Atlantis tracks well, moves smoothly thru chop, and is quite stable without the rudder down. The light weight is nice as it allows cartopping and carrying without hurting yourself.

Conclusion


All in all, I give this 4 stars as an intermediate level, reasonably priced kayak and am looking forward to throwing it on the car many times in the future.
