Good for kayaking Yeah or Nay?. I see a too stiff and a good for review.

My son uses it for his wheelchair -- it works fine for that and he loves it. Requires quite a bit of dexterity so I imagine it would be fine for kayaking.

The items were brought for someone else. As per the person the gloves are working very well and he is a Diver

In my opinion these were not stiff at all, really like them even using a reel while diving - not easy with stiff gloves. These were easy to get on and kept me warm at 100 feet. I'm not sure how well these will work with an oar but it's worth a try.

I think they would be ok for that but better for diving I love mine they don't let the cold in that is for sure and no they are not stiff at all and they have some grip but I don't know if they will be the best holding the ores.

The short answer for your question is, YES. On the whole, this kayak probably isn't as responsive as a hard sided boat in terms of speed and maneuverability. I've taken it out on lakes by myself a few times and missed my wife's added horsepower but had no problem getting where I wanted to go.

PS don't skimp on the tie downs. use the bow and stern ropes as well as the straps no matter what system you use. Overkill is better than having a kayak fly off on the highway and causing an accident!

If you mean stable as in, you won't fall out, then yes, it's fine. With only one person in, as they sit at the back, the front goes a little light and the kayak doesn't go quite so straight, but since there's no weight, a slightly harder paddle stroke quickly straightens it up again. So it's perfectly ok with just one person in.

I take mine in the Gulf of Mexico to fish and no matter if the conditions are flat calm to 2 1/2ft seas with constantly shifting winds mild to gusty, in the marshes, skinny waters with oyster beds, muck and rock, I'm confident in the way this little vessel handles out there. Google Earth is a good tool to use before you go out, to find out the what the waters are like. Pay attention to the weather and use common sense in regards to conditions, your abilities and comfort zone. The kayak should get you there and back w/out incident.

Sorry it's 2 months out, Lightfoot..... But, yes, the bars are strong enough for poly kayaks. We run a 2 kayak setup with the Malone Stax Pro and Inno cradles.

Slightly, but nothing to write home about. If you are closer to the upper weight limit (I think 130ish), you will get wetter. It is enough to discourage kayaking when the water temperature drops, though. We only use them in summer and early fall.

my friend was 260. the kayak was 2 inches from the lip. on a still lake its fine, on a moving river don't chance it.

They do flex somewhat. It's not required to have the kayak keel meet the bottom center edge of the saddle; side contacts are enough. Remember the straps, along with the saddle contact points all work to make it safe and stable. I also use a bow line for added security and it's a nice visual reminder that the kayaks are still there :).

As far as soft board fins go, they are fairly stiff-any flex you get is going to probably be due to the fin box/board material itself that the fins are mounted in.

Be sure to do the water test EVRY time before you are going in the water. I take it kayaking usually but the other day I went swimming a little and it did great! I wouldn't trust it diving deep or staying wet for a long time but I wouldn't ANY CASE!

To tell you the truth, it's not really needed on this kayak. Its a very sturdy build. Try kayaking without it, you will be surprised.

It´s a great opportunity for those who are looking for fun without concern. It´s just not really appropriate for windy days 'cause it's lighter than a regular kayak, so you'll need to try harder to get it in a line...

It's really more like a canoe, your high up off the water not down low like a classic plastic kayak, more difficult to tip than a plastic kayak

It is pretty stiff. I would only use it for a utilitarian application as opposed to a clothing closure for instance. Hope that helps.

I think these will work well for you. It's what they art designed to do. I use them to carry kayaks and canoes and the soft cloth surface on a foam pad provides the cushion and friction to make it easy to securely strap down and transport my paddle craft.

My previous response - "not" got missed. Wouldn't recommend and not that stiff.
