Hey all, I just picked up a new kayak as an early birthday present to myself. After doing a ton of research, I settled on a Native Watercraft Ultimate 14.5 tandem, which is really a hybrid between a kayak and canoe. Tons of storage space, the most comfortable seat I've ever experienced in a kayak, great stability, good tracking, etc. I plan to paddle for recreation + fishing. So far, I spent the weekend paddling it on the coast and logged about 10 miles total in a couple of days. It handled everything from strong tidal currents, strong winds, to choppy boat wakes with aplomb. So far, I'm really happy with it and can't wait to get out in it again.
I'd definitely recommend it! :victory:
And now some pics:
In this photo you can see the "tunnel hull" which gives it its stability:
Set up for solo:
You can see the front seat folded down just in front of my feet here. When in tandem mode, my seat would be much more rearward and there'd be a lot more space between my feet and the front seat:
