After trying several different
types of kayaks I purchased
two Aspire105's for my wife
and I who are both in our mid
60's and we are new at
kayaking. We both needed a
kayak with a good adjustable
seat which only Wilderness
kayaks had. The 105 has
everything that we wanted and
with the drop down skeg made
it a real plus. The Aspire 105
handles and tracks very well.
On our second time out on the
lake we paddled for four
straight hours. ACK handled
our purchase and their
customer service is great.

We just took our new Aspire 105's out for a paddle in Ventura harbor
and are extremely pleased with thier performance. With the skeg up,
these turn on a dime - extremely responsive just like the video but
perjhaps even more so. I did a 360 in the same spot - wow!. With
teh skeg down, the tracking and speed are very impressive (read:
fast) for these sorter length kayaks. The seating system is wonderful
- after 3 hours onthe water we were not uncomfortable in the least.
We've rented many other types of kayaks on the California coast and
own two Ride 115's (for ocean and fishing). We really like the
relatively lighter weight of the Aspire's - we plan to use these on
rivers, but for lakes they'd work just fine.
We are also very happy with the customer service and orientation of
ACK - the kayaks arrived on time and in perfect condition - brand new
and in great shape (even a new smell!) - packaging is very impressive
- not a scratch from shipping across country. Would definitely order
from ACK again - they are excellent communicators via email and
phone.

New to me, been out twice, both times on a lake so I don't have
much river experience with it yet. Both days were very windy. The
boat handles so incredibly well. The skeg is simply amazing. As a
previous Perception beginner rec kayak owner, this kayak is such
an incredible upgrade to me and love the stability. I'm still getting
used to the slidetrax footage system, the 2015 105's hatch is
entirely waterproofed though I haven't flipped it yet to try it. I love
the cargo space and dashboard. Lastly, I absolutely love the seat
design! It handles moving water well and feel very safe on a lake
in very windy conditions... Even after speed boaters fly by me. At
this time, the Aspire 105 is a great choice for me.
