My favorite fishing kayak ever! Couldn’t agree more.

Got one about 6 months ago and really like it. Very stable and well thought out.

these kayak/canoes seem real nifty, i have a ocean kayak drifter that i love other then the wet ride. does the ultimate kayak paddle as well as the drifter? does it move relatively fast and glide well? thanks for your time.

I don’t have anything to compare it with, as this is my first kayak, but it seems to glide very well. Sometimes too well :slight_smile:
It certainly isn’t nearly as laborious as a canoe!
I think it glides better than some may think it does if that makes sense.
