Joey, I have been really satisfied with my Innova Safari. I have taken it to Africa, Europe and South America. It is pretty rugged and reasonably light weight... that said,
it will not track like a solid kayak and it is a bit more work to move in the water, but I think the pros outweigh the cons.... I love it!
My blog has a few stories of some trips I have taken with the Innova.
