I shopped around for a sturdy inflatable kayak that I could use with my dogs and landed on this one. I’ve had it for nearly three years and I expect to use it for many more. I would say I use it moderately, but I haven’t been careful with it. I regularly scratch it going over rocks and I’ve occasionally dragged it while trying to control my dogs - still no holes that need patching. It takes me about 7-9 minutes to inflate the 2-person kayak - the pump is awesome. My only “complaint” is that it is really heavy - the backpack is too heavy for me to carry more than 300 feet, and the roller option doesn’t work too well because the balance is off. I wish it had a longer handle. On the other hand, when a strap broke on the backpack, Nixy sent me a new one immediately. Great customer service! Overall, I highly recommend this kayak. I would buy it again.
