This kayak is good for day trips in moderate (up to 1 foot) seas.
Higher boat wakes are not a problem. Tracking without a rudder is
Ok. I am 6'2" and 185. IT seems to be about the max weight this
boat can handle well. I would call it a recreational kayak, with
limited distance cruising capability. The seat back is rather flimsy,
and has a bad habit of getting jammed under the back edge of the
cockpit unless the seatback is absolutely vertical. Once it jams,
you cannot get it loose while sitting in the boat. Overall, I would
recommend a step up in price for more uses.

I moved up from an 11' perception. As with that one, I have no
complaints with this 13'. Obviously it runs a little faster and easier. I
haven't experienced any problem with the seat.

I purchased my kayak this past July and have been more
impressed with its handling with every outing. I am a beginner
having just started in 2016 - but this is the next and best upgrade
from my first kayak which was a 10ft Pelican. It tracks much
better, hold a lot of gear. Also buying through Austin Kayaks was
a great experience! Shipped perfectly to the door without a
scratch.
