About 15 years ago I ordered a 10 foot inflatable kayak and paid about $200 for it. Worst paddling experience ever except for the 2 man "toy" raft I had as a kid and I would put this kayak in that class as well. Luckily I was able to return it. I'm not certain why it was so unruly in the water but it was very unpleasant despite appearing well made and stable in the water. I think maybe the spine/keel was not rigid enough and by sitting in the middle a great deal of rocker was created. Throw in a little wind and hang on for a wild ride with little control.
