As an RN who has spent a career healing and solving problems this kayak is a masterpiece. As a user, I discovered it when getting a regular kayak on the car roof became dangerous. The Tucktec folding kayak is a clever watercraft, Lightweight, tough, and takes little space to store. Add a lifejacket (PFD) and a paddle and you are ready for adventure. The simplicity is gratifying. It is affordable. It is very stable on the water so anyone can use it. With a simple inexpensive stabilizer accessory it becomes even more stabile if you have a squirmy pet, fishing action or any random motion in the boat. At a touch under 10 feet long it does not require registration in many states. It handles well in calm waters and the crowd will not get away from you. If you have a problem with this boat the customer service is outstanding. It is responsive WITH solutions. They listen. And the kayak has gotten better because of this attention to users. I have visited the manufacturing facility twice and it is clean, organized and very busy. They showed me the process, answered questions and taught me a few things about these kayaks. I got to see part of the development process that brought forth the current model. The thought invested in getting this boat perfect is monumental. The devotion of this Team is inspiring. Investing here in a Made In America product that helps people with jobs and the folks who purchase them with all the benefits of outside activity is a thing that should be encouraged and supported. There is also an online community (https://www.facebook.com/groups/267243452020461) that is inviting and helpful. If someone ever wanted to try their hand at this water sport, this is your kayak. The world really looks different from the water. Kayaking is beautiful, can be physical, or peaceful, a photography platform or simply a way to see the world. It provides many different kinds of fun so that most anyone can find joy in a Tucktec.
