Fun and easy to carry. Although most of the time I paddle a hard shell kayak, I love taking beginners out in inflatable kayaks before I make them worry about rolling and other technical nonsense. I learned river running first in an IK and then later switched to a solid boat. More so than other inflatables, the bandit's lower profile lends it well to aggressive paddling. Tie on a few drybags and you've got an overnight trip for two all floating on less than thirty pounds of boat. Once at camp you can flip it over on the beach to make a waterslide, although that might violate the warranty. My girlfriend loved this thing. The same can't be said of the playboat I put her in next.
