A couple of less than 10km test kayaking in the inland water works behind:
The materials are of high quality and otherwise well designed, there are attachment points and pockets. However, the included bag is quite small, so the benches are popularly packed separately in an IKEA bag. The whole set travels comfortably in a small car. The pump is really plastic and a pressure gauge would be nice (can be purchased separately). Apartment dwellers should think about how they plan to dry the kayak after using it, because moisture accumulates inside, which does not dry outside in autumn weather. Removing the floor helps the matter.
Filling requires a little practice, especially it is worth noting that the floor and side pontoons are straight so that the kayak travels straight. At 174cm tall, the legroom in the front seat feels a bit tight even though it fits, the back seat is suitable for a taller paddler. The cover included in the set is good for colder weather.
The speed of two inexperienced paddlers against a slight headwind was about 5.8 km/h. A couple of times we hit the rocks while resting on the shore, but nothing came to the bottom.
