OK, Kayak not sure its worth full asking price !
Kayak received today all seems OK.BUILD:Quality is OK, a lot of pin holes in plastic around the seems and over the body which is a poorly moulded plastic as from experience, pin holes can cause problems as these are all weak points, and have seen kayaks leak at pin holes that go straight through kayak.Make sure you clean the kayak out BEFORE USE, these cheapies never get cleaned out so if you are plastic friendly do not empty water out on beach as you will love tons of plastic filings on the beach to really help out our plastic problem.No instructions, there is nothing explaining how to set up the rudder controls, I am assuming there is a way to adjust it all as they are only using loosely tied knots.Handles don't really fit very well, was expecting nice fabric and rubber handles as per the picture as the hard plastic ones can be brutal on the hands, a bit of flexibility can go a long way trust me.Rudder guid line tubes are just cable tied and glued in I am guessing with superglue as on mine there is a horrible white residue every where around the holes and two of them just pull out anyway.Around seams of kayak there are a few scratches, and inside where you sit is a nice deep scratch, not sure from where but it looks horrible.Only other gripe is, it's not a Kayak built by Concept I am guessing it is re-branded when shipped into UK as this is a GoSea kayak.Overall from a kayaker thats had multiple brands and have reviewed a few kayaks in my time, this is ok, is it worth £425? In my opinion NO, I would expect to pay about £380 for this quality with paddle and seat. Never the less I will get it out on the water and update my review with a sea worthiness, which will also include things like water in take, weight, ease and use and more importantly stability etc.18/07/2018 - UpdateTook it for a paddle today and all seemed good, no water intake at all into hull, unlike my Galaxy Kayaks, easy enough to go through water, I was on quite big swells today, and even sitting side on into them I didn't once feel as if it was going to tip.Issues:I have a set of wheels exactly what they sell at the HUB, but the bottom of kayak is not really flat enough of sit to sit on wheels properly even when strapped down solid, the wheels still moved about and made pulling it really hard, maybe scupper hole wheels will work a lot better.Front rod holders for my liking hold the rod too upright, they need to have the same type of angle as the rear ones.the carry handle on front is no where near long enough, when kayak sat on wheels "some what" the carry handle is quite short so you end up crushing your fingers against the drain plug, very uncomfortable.
