Comments about Ocean Kayak Zest Two EXP Tandem Sit-On-Top Kayak:

I've taken this kayak on rivers and lakes, plenty of storage room, comfortable and easy to maneuver! We've had up to 3 people on the kayak at one time and it handled like a breeze. If you have younger children you want to take along or even dogs, this is a great, stable kayak. I've even taken it out solo many times and with minimal headwind, I can handle it fine. It is very heavy and having a kayak cart is a must!
