I have had this kayak for 4 years now. Use it on open water in calm and choppy conditions without any issues. Absolutely love the portability in regards to vehicle transit and the ease of throwing the included carry strap over your shoulder to get to the water. Don't use the additionally available backpack much but it came as a package when I bought this gem of a kayak used 4 years ago. Very happy with my Oru! 🤙
