Emotion Youth Recruit Kayak and Paddle

We’ve had our kayaks for about 1 month now. We bought two of the same kind. They are very easy to carry, load and navigate in the water. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was the height of the seat back. While the seat is comfortable, the height of the back makes it difficult to fill sit back and relax for very long. I leaned forward more than I leaned back because it hits in such an odd spot on your lower-mid back. Other than that, they are great!

good looking and practical, being on the light side

I bought this yak about 2 months ago and I love it! It is very long and heavy but I only ever go out alone and I've had no problems transporting and launching it. I'm 6'3\" 150lbs and this yak is great for standing fishing and casting. I just took it out this past weekend at my local lake when it was quite windy and choppy but has no problem standing up all day. As long as you have half decent balance you should be fine. It has plenty of storage front and back for all my gear too. The wheel on the rear is clutch but very low quality plastic. I feel it will wear out and brake sooner or later. The seat is very comfortable and feels solid/durable. I was hesitant to buy at first but have zero regrets with my purchase overall. Demand for yaks these days is CRAZY due to covid, so if have the opportunity to do the free in store pick up from a local DSG, I highly recommend jumping on it asap while the product is still available. Best buy I've made in a long time and I'm enjoying the summer weather to the fullest!

It is amazingly sturdy, I've never once felt as if i was goin to tip over. Great pole holders and an incredibly large storage area in the back. The only improvement i would make is to have a larger storage compartment in the front bc the front storage compartment is rather small. If you plan on fishing in it I'd recommend that you buy a clip on paddle holder. I also have a large dry box to hold phone keys etc and 2 clip on lanyards to ensure the drybox stays in the boat and 1 to wrap around my fishing pole while paddling to ensure there's no way it could fall into the water.

I wanted a light weight kayak that was pretty and fit what I was looking for. It was in my price range and it worked out beautifully. It's the perfect kayak for my lazy days at the lake.

After comparing comfort levels to similarly priced kayaks, this one was considerably more comfortable. It also seems to track better than my old kayak of the same length and I'm guessing it's due to a better hull design. To top it off, I saved a lot of money on various discounts and rewards.

. We've had two for years and just bought two more. We use them on the Allegheny River and they ride great.

I bought this a couple months back and i love it, it is so good

Bought two of these for my 10 year old and myself. 5'10 215lbs
Easy to get in and out. Nice features. Glides well. Maneuverable. Even in 12mph winds was easy to paddle. Would by again.
