Sure itll.be a hreat secondary down the road but doin fine for a one and only now.. floats well if lost...yellow is good for finding it down stream hahah! Ive paddled it for several hours...not bad on the weight...shoved off ramps and rocks with it...holds up pretty well..one thing though...if you dont have a skirt on...your gonna get wet..in case you find urself on flat water.
