This is a low-pricet kayak. I have tried a few similar type kayaks that cost twice or more an don´t think they are worth their price i comparison.

About Me
Not really a beginner but not a pro. I have not tested so many kayaks. But I have been out i all but the really worst conditions.
Pros / The Good
Extremely stable perticulary secondary stability. Does not turn over when hit by braking waves from the side. Goes well against the sea. The bottom can take hard impact. Very safe in normal conditions.
Cons / The Bad
Thin gelcote on deck easily cracks (because of low wheight). Feels insecure if surfed at high speed. When heavely loaded and when waves come from behind sloping the kayak does not lie i the sea. It follow the surface and can`t keep up speed.
