I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I am a large man (6'7", 300#) and this kayak fits me with room to spare. For those concerned about such things - when I am in the boat, the water comes almost to the top of the scuppers (with maybe 1/2 inch to spare) but no water enters the boat. Any drips and such drain their way out fairly well so the ride is dry. A smaller person would find it even more so. It is VERY stable, but also paddles pretty well. The seat is comfortable, and the fact that it can be adjusted to trim the boat is pretty handy. It's just an all around great boat if you need the size. Two potential negatives - the boat is heavy, and pretty difficult to get on the roof with one person. Also, it's a bit tough to maneuver; given it's size and stability, that's expected. For those nervous about ordering online, the kayak was packed very well, and delivered to my door. Given the price and service at ACK, you really can't beat their package deals. I ended up buying my son a kayak from a local dealer because I wanted him to be able to test it, and ended up spending at least $300 more than the package I should have bought from ACK.

Bought this for my wife. Fantastic yak! We love to fish, I have been trying to get her into kayaking fishing for years. From her first float, she was hooked. Very stable and smooth to paddle. Great control with rudder.

This is my first kayak that I have owned. I have used sit in sea type kayaks and a few sit on top. I love this kayak and the little extras that it comes. I like how the seat sets up a little so you butt is not sitting in water. Plenty of storage, large storage area behind the seat. It is a little heavyer than most kayaks but the stability it offers is worth the extra weight. I cant say that I am complety comfortable standing up in it but it can be done and once I get some time under my belt doing so I think it will be second nature. Im not a real big guy, 511 200 lbs. but I can see this kayak accomodating a much larger person. Awesome Kayak and Of course Austin Canoe and Kayak are completly awesome and made my first Kayak purchase a great experience

Excellent yak. First one Ive ever owned and Im hooked. Tracks smooth and its pretty fast. A dry compartment in the stern would be great allow access to rear internals. Good job Wilderness....good job ACK.

THE BEST! Purchased THE RIDE about 12 years ago. It is still the most stable kayak ( until I got my new RIDE 135)I have ever been in. My new Wilderness 135 RIDE Fishing Package (just look at the money this package saves over purchasing everything seperately) is once again more than I expected. More room to everything and just as stable as the one I bought 12 years ago. Once you fish out of one of these you are HOOKED (Pun Intended). I cannot recommend THE RIDE highly enough. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

First kayak. Immediately felt comfortable in it. Stable as advertised, and tracks nice. ACK did a superb job getting it half way across the US without incident.
