SNAP KAYAKS SNAP TOP FRONT PIECE

Has some issues. The cup holder fills with water (being the lowest part) when you launch, so if you then put your cup there (or take it out) the water flows immediately to the seat resulting in uncomfortable wet pants. I had some difficulty in getting it together and taking it apart but am getting the hang of it. Difficult to hold on to and haul up a bank, or carry, no grabbers, only molded hand holds on the bottom. I had trouble getting it downhill to the water in semi-steep terrain. Cup holder basically useless, right at crotch makes it difficult for person to get in and out. I bought multiple accessories to assist me as follows: 1-a seat with drain channels and supports to hold the back seat up since it flops down when you get in, 2-several D-rings and tie straps to assist grabbing a hold of it, 3-a separate cup holder, 4-a two wheel dolly to attach to one end so you can move it without picking up the pieces and carrying overhead. I am 70 years old and have had a shoulder replacement.

The perfect kayak for me - I can carry each 20lb piece, they both fit in the hatchback of my compact Prius with the back seats down. Minimum water seeps into the interior, handles well. I just use this in calm water - lakes, slow river sloughs, etc. I like that I can add another seat in future. Ratcheted clasp easy to link, but a bit stiff at first to take apart. Easy to store.
